Barras Baker or Barras-Baker 1857 onwards
Hi There,
I would be very interested to hear from any Barras family researchers who have discovered a link to the Baker Family.My maiden name was Barras-Baker(sometimes also spelled Barras Baker , un-hyphenated) and the furtherest I can connect to is my Great Grandfather William who lived in South Africa and died here in 1900 aged 43.We are not sure where he came from, but presume it was England as he served in the Military (under British Rule) in South Africa and was also in the Cape Police (BSAP).He was married to Mary Catherine McNamara.Any information would be most welcome.Many thanks, Trish Haye
