    1. Re: [SXP] Baker of Mayfield
    2. Pauline Sigglekow
    3. Hello Karen I have a book that belonged to my Mother and sent to her in the late 40s early 50s called "Looking Back" by Fred Lister. In it is a paragraph re the Baker Bros. Here what is says: The Baker Brothers "I should think quite some 60 years ago there was a family of brothers named Baker, they were farm labourers and lived at Coggin's Mill. One day to everyone's surprise it came out they had combined and taken Sharnden Farm. By extreme hard work and good business ways they met with success and later on gave up Sharnden Farm and started in farms each one separately all of them made good and I think have all retired quite well off. Mr George Baker was the leader and I take this opportunity of most sincerely congratulating him on his and his brothers well earned success. Mr G Baker is still alive and lives at Stonegate. I do not know if any of his brother are still alive" Hope this may help in some small way.
