Hi Mick, and welcome to the Forum. I cannot help you with any family details, but if you use the link below it will take you to the Service Record for William, which can be down-loaded from the National Archives website. This does not contain any family information, but if you are lucky William may have been posted to an English CG Station covered by a Census year, this record could provide you with geographic location for a search. http://www.nation...ltcount=37 I would also try the GENUKI site, because there appears to be an entry for William, although he is shown as William JAMES Baker. http://www.genuki...s/A-B.html Regards Martin Edited by crimea1854 on 10/09/2009 08:04 |

hi.yes thanks a lot for the link i know about thehttp://www.genuki...s/A-B.html link and yes they have his name down as James.... his birth name was john... but in records his name has been changed to James. his grave stone says john hes buried with his son in lincolnshire but it is the correct person.the national archives are a good try many thanks for your info. great site and well laid out 10 out of 10.mick111 |

tony very many thanks for the information.the William baker who is 13 is the one buried with his father also called William baker in Alford cemetery lincolnshire.there is a grace baker missing in the census but she was born in county cork as well. the question is was William shipped to Ireland with the coastguards or did he just meet Joanna.in Ireland and there marriage in kinsale in 1883.was nothing to do with the coastguards...we cannot find any records for him in the coastguards in Ireland .but we know from his records he served in them.in herne bay and sheppy.sorry for being a pain in the but.mick111 |

Mick, Many of the Coastguards were Irish and married Irish girls while stationed in Ireland. Many Coastguards on station married children of families stationed with them in the same place. Many English Coastguards did likewise. It's akin to marrying the girl next-door. In spite of Admiralty regulations requiring transfer to another station every few years, this regulation was ignored in English and Irish stations. Tony |
