Baker Moore connection
I am trying to connect Ernest and Annie Baker from Castleford Yorks to the family of Henry Moore the sculptor. I believe his mother was a Baker making them cousins. Has anyone got info. on this please?

Henry Spencer Moore was born on 30 Jul 1898 in Castleford, West Yorkshire to Mary Baker & Raymond Spencer Moore. They married in 1885.
Raymond Spencer Moore was born in Owston, Lincoln, England believed to be of Irish origin
Mary was born in Burntwood, Staffordshire
If Ernest and Annie Baker's family originate from Staffordshire there may be a connection
I seem to be unable to find more info than that. Mary Baker , Burntwood is all. No parents or siblings, not even on a census. Any suggestions as to finding more?

This looks like Mary and her family in Staffordshire
Her father is a miner which perhaps why she ended up in Yorkshire
gosh thanks. so hopefully I can get Ernest somewhere as a child in a later census. very helpful.
