Notes - I wonder if someone who has access to the appropriate info could please do a look up for a fellow researcher from Canada. She asked me if I could help. She is looking to find any children of the marriage of Ernest Arthur Baker married Elsie Gladys Skeggs March 29th.,1913 Wesley Church Perth. Apparently Ernest enlisted in 1915 and papers indicate that he had a wife and child so theoretically the child would have been born between 1913 and 1915. However they could have had more later on. Ernest Baker would have been her Father-in-law's uncle. The Father-in-law is 86 and was sent to Canada as part of the British Home Child period from Barnado's Homes. The family is trying to find him some information about his family. If anyone can help it would be much appreciated. Thank you
Kind regards

Hi Merrilyn,
I have checked the Uniting Church Baptism Register for you, (this includes the Methodist, Presbyterian & Congregational Churches) and found one Baptism for you.
Gladys Clara May BAKER was born 22 October 1913, father Ernest Archer BAKER, mother Elsie Gladys, Baptised 14 Dec 1913, Fremantle by Rev Chas A Jenkins, Methodist Church.
That was the only child recorded to these parents in our records. I don't know why the fathers name was recorded as "Archer", maybe our transcribers made a mistake.
Cheers,
Betty
