This Family lived in the small town of Hurley,Warws., Eng. where their last six children were born.

       The first recorded baptism for Thomas and Mary Baker's children appears in Kingsbury parish records with the entry for Caroline 16 Feb 1827.  That there are no burials or marriage entries for this family indicate they came from elsewhere.  A year later Sarah Ann's baptism is recorded 25 Mar 1828.  The census shows Caroline 15 years and Sarah Ann 13 years in 1841 indicating two years difference in their ages.
       These records tend to support a family tradition told by Nathan Baker, that Thomas Baker, husband of Mary Evans, did not subscribe to the beliefs of the Church of England.  False charges against him as a result of religious prejudice force him to leave England and find refuge in Australia.
