Our branch of the Baker family are the Bakers of Headley, descendants of Nicholas who was born in 1736 – follow this link to find out more about them.
There were other Bakers in and near Headley at that time. For example:

And another:
On 31 May 1803 Moses married Elizabeth Chuter at Frensham. They had four children: Sarah in 1804, Moses in 1806, Thomas in 1809 and Emma in 1814. Elizabeth died on 14 May 1815 in Frensham; Moses died in 1847.

And another:
James was born in Headley in 1798/9. He married Sarah, and in 1861 they were living in Shottermill, James being recorded as a farmer of fourteen acres. With them was their grandson George (born c. 1853, son of their own son Thomas), and their children Edward, aged 19, and Fanny, 11 (?) – both born in Elstead. George’s brother Frederick, aged 10 and born in Elstead, was also with them.
Ten years later James was living with his brother John ("head of household") sister Mary and wife Mary Ann. Ten years after that he was at He(a)rn Farm, Frensham – "farmer of sixty acres".
On 18 April 1880 George (above), now a police-constable, married Margaret Mitchell, and the following year they were living at 1 Bridgwater House, Fann Street, Cripplegate, London.
