Can anyone find this family in 1851?

Fanny Baker in that 1841 Census would make her 11 in 1849 which fits nicely with what we know.

Yep! Looking very good for Fanny (and I don't need to be embarrassed).

Pennydog, your census family looks good from what I can see, the NSW BDM's don't show a Harriet Baker aged 38 although they do have a Hannah Baker aged 38 dying that year, but there's no George that I can see apart from an infant which I don't think would be him, records for that time like Jane said are not always there.

Because this is my local area I'll also have a dig about at our FHS to see if I can find anything more. But if the registers were retained by the minister or lost, it will be harder to find anything. Harriet and George both died before compulsory registration began in NSW so it's only a burial record I'm after. Mary Ann and Thomas Woolaston appear on a tree on My Heritage. I haven't looked at it. Only Mary Ann's death will show her mother's maiden name. Poor Samuel. To lose first his daughter and then his wife and son in such quick succession. He appears to have given many lectures in Maitland but I don't know how long he stayed there.

This might help some Jane.

which is so good I'll have another
Nobody has yet looked at UK newspapers for late 1848/1849 for news of Samuel and his family leaving the UK.
My family history is currently on the back-burner, so I have yet to take out a sub to any of the newspaper sites, but I know there are people with access to them.

Looks like one of their sons death at St Leonards, Samuel Baker, parents Samuel and Harriet 1910, in 1885 there's a Samuel Baker aged 71 years dying at West Maitland, could be him, would make his birth about 1814, and that UK census has that Samuel aged 27 which works out about the same birth year of 1814
