2 March In (My) History

Alfred and Medora BAKER's 13th child Hilda Florence was born in Wing on this day in 1892.

Also in Buckinghamshire, my 6xgreat-grandfather Joseph SIBLEY was baptised in Little Missenden on this day in 1742. St John The Baptist Church has surviving medieval wall paintings - we visited back in 2005:


And further afield in Ropley Hampshire, my 4xgreat-grandmother Elizabeth BUSS was also baptised on 2 March, this time in 1800.

BAKER

Anyone else out there descended from the BAKERs of Wing? I'd love to hear from you, or indeed anyone else out there who might have a lead for me as to where James (married in Wing 1765), George (fathered a child in Wing 1773) or John (married in Wing 1776) might have been from originally.

Yet another family that appeared to arrive in the parish in the mid 1700s - unless there is a connection to the Bakers of the 1600s that is not apparent from the parish registers which has basically nothing after a baptism in 1673 all the way through to James "of Wing" marrying in 1765.
