His sister was my grandmother Minnie Baker who married my grandfather John (Jack) Thompson. John and Minnie had three children, Marjorie Einifred Thompson, Lawrence Siviter Thompson and my father Albert Maurice Thompson. Most of the info I have got on the Bakers is via my father for Minnies side of the family, from Clive Baker in the UK for the family of William Siviter who died in 1958 and from the Bakers in Melbourne who are descendents of Thomas Siviter baker who was another son of William Siviter Baker (died 1922) and Bridget Green. The Bakers are tircky with their use of a limited number of first names and everyone having the middle name Siviter - luckily enough there's a few bracnces of the family still around and kicking. There is actually yet another William Siviter Baker, born 1876 the son of Thomas Siviter Baker who was the son of Siviter Baker. This William ended up in the US somewhere. So after all that what is your connection to the Bakers? Cheers Alan Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
