Today I added one headstone photograph to the page of St. Matthew’s Anglican Church Cemetery, Baker’s Road, Marie Joseph, Guysborough County, NS.
James R. Baker
1896 – 1977
This is probably James Richard Baker who married Iza Marie Smith on March 23, 1936 at St. Barnabas Rectory, Ecum Secum, Guysborough County, NS. According to their marriage record, James was 38 years old, which would put his birth year as c1898. James was born at Ecum Secum, Guysborough County, NS, the son of Elizabeth Smith and James Baker. He worked as a fisherman and lived at Marie Joseph.
Iza Marie Smith was 22 years old at the time of marriage, giving her a birth year of c1914. She was born at Necum Teuch, the daughter of Ellen Lorinda Smith and Ansell Smith. She worked as a housemaid.
Stephen W. Pace’s genealogy page has James Richard Baker, born February 10, 1896, the son of Lydia Elizabeth Smith and James Albert Baker who were married January 6, 1870 at Marie Joseph. This gives supporting evidence that the headstone belongs to the James Richard Baker in the marriage record.
