Oppem - I'm trying fill in the jigsaw of the same Baker family, and your great-uncle Paling Baker was my great-grandfather! So I'll email you soon - perhaps we can exchange some information.
A thank you to this History Society, too. My mother told me that an ancestor named Purdy/Purdey/Perdey/Perdy assisted James Watt, but I knew no more (or even how to spell it), until I searched for Paling Baker, got a result with 'Purdy' in the title, and found this thread. Local history societies such as this do a great service to family researchers, too!
