  • Broken links between the Baker & Bemrose families

    I have a series of bmd, census and probate records relating to a Charles Baker, they're not easy to explain as there's another surname that crops up (my beloved Goulson family!)

    1868 marriage in Lincoln;
    Charles Baker, occ Whitesmith, full age, son of Charles Baker occ Coachman- spouse Mary Ann Askwith

    1861 Census Lincoln
    Valentine Goulson, head age 42 Blacksmith
    Mary Goulson wife (nee Bemrose), age 42 born Hougham, Lincs
    Charles Baker, nephew, age 16 born London
    Martha Baker, sister, widow age 43, Hougham, Lincs

    Marriage cert for Valentine to Mary in 1847 at Carrington, Notts notes her father as Joseph Bemrose, occ cordwainer

    I looked in the 1851 for a Charles Baker abt 1845 with a father named Charles employed as a coachman and found the following;

    Little Cadogan Place, Saint Luke Chelsea
    Charles Baker Head Married Male 48 1803 Coach man Long Lawford, Suffolk
    Martha Baker Wife Married Female 36 1815 - Offham, Lincolnshire
    Charles Baker Son - Male 6 1845 - Cleator, Middlesex, England

    That's the fmp transcription, birthplace of son Charles is almost certainly wrong and poorly written on the image. I'm also querying the others, Long Lawford is Warwicks but there is a Lawford in Suffolk. I suspect "Offham" is actually Hougham

    I then looked in the bmd for a Charles abt 1845 in London and found the following;
    Baker, Charles mmn BEMROSE GRO Reference: 1844 S Quarter in SAINT GEORGE HANOVER SQUARE Volume 01 Page 36

    --

    Initially I was thrown by the nephew reference in 1861 thinking there was an early Goulson/Baker marriage somewhere but there isn't one so wondered if there is a Bemrose/Baker marriage?

    Sorry for the long winded post and I'm not sure if it even makes sense. I'm trying to fill the gaps and can't find the following records that might prove/disprove Mary and Martha as sisters;


    Marriage of Charles Baker to Martha Bemrose
    Baptism of Martha Bemrose c1815 birth Offham/Hougham
    Baptism of Mary Bemrose c1820 birth Hougham

    Mary or Martha in the 1841

      There are a Martha and Mary Bemrose living in Newton in Lincs on the 1842. Martha is 25, and Mary 20, but with the rounding down on that census might be your two.

              1841 on FMP Martha and Mary BEMROD, Newton, Lincs on the Hodson household.
              I love fmp, they seem to pick random people in my tree and deliberately mangle every census transcription for them.

                On Ancestry there is a tree for both Martha and Mary Bemrose. According to this tree, Martha was born in 1817 in Hougham cum Marston in Lincolnshire, and Mary in 1819 in the same place to Joseph and Elizabeth Bemrose. On Family Search there are a number of children born around this time to Joseph and Elizabeth in Hougham and Welbourn, about 10 miles away. There is a Mary born in 1811, but I think she is too young to be your Mary. There is a picture of Mary on the tree.

                  I don't subscribe to Ancestry now but just spotted Mary in several trees including one I avoid at all costs. I have no idea about the picture though I have a few in my collection, I wonder if it's been "borrowed" from there like so many others.

                  I keep going round in circles on FS and falling into the same Mary born 1812 died 1806....yes you did read that right, died 6 years before being born.

                      Nice one, I've got the full set of census now plus marriage and death cert and bits and pieces about selling up the remains of her estate after she died. The baptism is the icing on the cake. I'll go trough the register for images of other Hougham events as I've got a few more around there.

                        The Joseph and Elizabeth Bemrose having children in Welbourn is probably another couple. Your Joseph is a shoe-maker and the other one is a carpenter.

                          I'm just going to head through the registers image by image for anything of interest as there are a couple of families in that area and I may have missed something before now. I'm having no luck finding a GRO ref for the wedding of Charles to Martha. That must be horribly mangled in the index somewhere or the GRO lost it when compiling the index back in the day.

                              I found the marriage registrations for St Georges Hanover Square on Ancestry , and went through them last night, but there was no entry for Charles and Martha on 8 October 1843 - nothing for them at all as far as I could see (went back a few months and up to 3 Nov when the announcement was made). This might be why it is difficult to find them in the indexes.

                                I've been looking this morning and still having any luck, even comparing the images in the index to the scans of the index, freereg have the handwritten version, fmp have a typed version. I did keep looking at the freereg entry for Martha Burlace and I can see how that might have been mangled from the original but there isn't a Baker on the same page. There's bound to be a page with two or three missing entries and it will be them, or a missing page entirely. I can feel some good old fashioned trawling coming on and trying to find the likely page ranges.

                                Option B after that try to dodge GRO errors and use local registrars for that original document experience. .

                                  Possibly Charles Baker in 1841



                                  Class: HO107; Piece: 453; Book: 2; Civil Parish: Buckden; County: Huntingdonshire; Enumeration District: 13; Folio: 15; Page: 23; Line: 20; GSU roll: 288839

                                  Until 1840-1841 The Bishop of Lincoln resided in Buckden in Huntingdonshire, which is why I think this could be Charles.

                                    I'll bet my shirt it's him based on the fact I used to live near there and the ghosts from my family tree seem to attract me to where they have been It's the old A1 that runs straight through the middle
