John is edge setter at shoe factory. This time John shows ME as father's POB 1930 John is alone, wd, renting at 141 Holten St, Danvers [owned by Thomas J Kelly]; occupation written over, but does say shoe something. Again lists father's POB as ME. No house number is given for the 1900 Forest St listing, but Mapquest shows all the other years' addresses in same neighborhood and Forest St begins just 1/2 mile away. 1880 Marblehead, Essex, MA William W Baker, 56, b ME, father b MA, mother b ME; turn-shoemaker [nearly everyone on this census page is employed in some type of shoe-making]. Says unemployed 8 mos that yr and in disability column lists "dumb ague" Hannah A Baker, 48, b MA, parents b MA, dressmaking, "heart complaint" Percy H Baker, 7 [note the John PH in 1900-with the other similarities this has to be Nettie's husband] 1870 Marblehead see Wm W and Hannah A with a William J Baker age 16 and Amy M 9 mos. 1860 Marblehead William W, shoemaker, and Hannah A Baker in HH of Thomas J Peach, fisherman--no other Bakers shown, so possibly the 16 year old William from 1870 is not their child, since he should be shown here 6 years old and is not--cannot tell for sure about him, could be a nephew. But Amy M must be one of John PH Baker's sibs that didn't live. Marriage record likely 16 Apr 1902 to 15 April 1903, Danvers, Essex, MA for Nettie A Shaw and John PH Baker.
