I am looking for Charles Phillip Baker born in 1877 in Halifax, Yorkshire. I found him at Ardingley College, Cuckfield, Sussex aged 13 in 1891. His parents and siblings were living in Hammersmith at that time. Where was he after - what was his job. He married marie turner in 1900 but where did he go to then?
I did find a Charles Baker who died in Halifax in 1924 but not sure if its the same one as I don't think marie and the family moved there. Any information would be good - I have tried the 'hot matches' but non of them ever do

Thanks to both of you - sorry delay in replying. The one piece of information I have is that marie re-married and didn't actually die until she was at the end of her 90's - in fact I think she nearly made it to 100.
So not sure about the Uxbrige information.
I have found out that marie remarried in 1928
Thanks for the look-ups.

This is the probate of the Charles who died in 1949

think you need the marriage cert for her marital status at the time

Thank you again.
On the 1939 Register where it states : Sorry, record officially closed - does that mean the other folk may still be living or just that they may have been out of the country when they died and therefore not registered here?
