Could someone do me a lookup on the 1891 and 1901 Census' for Thomas Baker (bn 1858 Barnard Castle, Durham). In 1871 he was recorded as a carpet weaver in Barnard Castle. In 1881 he was lodging at an address in Stockton on Tees - working as a General Labourer. I'm trying to trace his line forward in time to see if he married and had any children. Thnx Paul

If you would like I will check marriages.

Thnx Ann-Marie, I think I've found the first marriage - Thomas Wright Baker (middle name after his mother) to Mary Ann Twidell reg Sept Qtr 1883 in Stockton. I wonder what happened to son and mother between 1891 and 1901! Paul
