I am trying to find out about my great great grandfather James Baker's birth of date and his mother's name. He was born around 1845 at Maidstone or West Malling, Kent. His father was also James Baker. He was married to Ellen Jane Pitt in 1873 at Portsea. They has seven children who were born around Portsea. They were Ellen (1878), John (1881), Florence (1886), Albert (1888), Margaret (1889), George (1892, my great grandfather) and Sidney (1894). He was in Royal Navy from 1870s at Portsmouth. He served as a leading stoker in HMS Opossum in 1871, HMS Asia in 1873, HMS Daring in 1875 and HMS Serapis in 1881. He was on pension around 1891 until his death in 1895. There might have royal navy records somewhere in Portsmouth. Could you please look up his royal navy records for me? I need only to know what his full birth of date and maybe his mother's name was, so I would buy his birth certificate. I am unable to go there, also National Archives in Kew or could not afford to buy his records. I would be greatly appreciate if someone could help me. Thank you.
