Hey Derek, Welcome to the Tolpuddle list. I am a descendant of the Standfield Tolpuddle Matryrs but have the connection with the Loveless line as Thomas Standfield TM married Dinniah Loveless sister of George Loveless TM. You mentioned that you have taken your Baker line back to 1686 and that you live in Dorset. There is an Elizabeth Baker in my family line which would have been my 4th great grandmother. Who was she married to? Robert Standfield, father of Thomas Standfield TM. The marriage date? June 19, 1787. Elizabeth was born in 1767 and died in 1854. Is this Baker related to your family tree?
