Occupations of the male members of the BAKER family are

Interestingly on the 1841 census Joseph and Selina have a servant living with them.... Eliza Weston. I've often wondered whether she was their Servant or whether she was just living with them.

I'd love to hear from anyone who has any of these Bakers in their family tree or has any further information relating to any of my 'finds' so far.

Hello Karina
My Great grandfather was William Baker. Born 1839, (I think he was married to Mary Matthews, who died before 1891)). He was a boatman during the 1880's, involved in coal deliveries. His daughter, Maria was my grandmother, and his son Alfred was shipped to Canada in 1894 (aged 11) after being found roaming the streets of Birmingham. Hard times!
