I am trying to find relatives and details for my great grandmother. She is called VALETTA BAKER (from my grandmothers birth certificate) and born c1869 in Wellington, Somerset (from 1891 Census). She married Frederick Wright, also from Wellington, Somerset.

On the 1891 Census I found her and Frederick and a lodger Walter Baker, born 1865 Wellington, Somerset, who I believe is her brother.

Does anyone have any information on Valetta, as I am unable to find her on any census, other than the 1891 and 1901, after she married Frederick.

I look forward to hearing from you - thanks.

Valetta has many different spellings for her name - such as Violetta (1881 Census), Veletta (marriage certificate).

Valetta fathers name is Levi who was also born in Wellington Somerset.

I would love to hear from anyone with a link to this.

Her birth is in free BMD as Viletta Baker registered June Qtr 1869 in Wellington (vol 5c, p.366). Getting her birth certificate should give you some more useful info.

Levi Baker married Elizabeth Westcott 1865 3q Wellington. In 1871 they were living with her parents.
Levi's parents are a mystery. In 1851 Levi was living with father Peter Baker bn1815 Bathealton, Somerset. Peter was listed as unmarried and no mother was shown.
