BAKER, Waltham Cross

I am attempting to discover further information regarding the family of Harry Baker, Fruiterer and Greengrocer, Eleanor Cross Road, Waltham Cross. He appears to have had at least 3 partners, and a large number of children, between about 1871 and 1901. His son, also Harry, complicates the picture, as he seems to have carried on the family business during Harry senior's travels (Herefordshire 1893, Pontypridd
1893/4, North Shields 1894/6?).

He married my Ggrandmother, Annie Limbe (Savigar) in Hereford in 1893, but by the 1901 census had returned to Waltham Cross and was living with Ellen Baker (Andrews) as man and wife. Ellen Andrews was living with Harry Baker senior as housekeeper in the 1881 census, after the
death of his first wife.

Does anyone have any further information about this large family with it's long lived business interests in the Waltham Cross area? (There is still a reference to H Baker, Fruiterer and Greengrocer, Eleanor Cross Road, in the Herefordshire Trade Directory for 1914.)

Any further information would be gratefully received.

Many thanks
