My Great Grandmother Jane Bishop, Daughter of Thomas Bishop, has her Father's listed occupation as Baker on her marriage certificate when she married William Weller 22 March 1875 in Paddington Middlesex England. Then listed on the 1871 census she appears with her mother as below,

Mary Bishop abt 1813 Spain Head Chelsea Middlesex
Owen Bishop abt 1840 Marylebone Son Chelsea Middlesex
Emma Bishop abt 1842 Marylebone Daughter Chelsea Middlesex
Walter Bishop abt 1846 Paddington Son Chelsea Middlesex
Fanny Bishop abt 1852 Marylebone Daughter Chelsea Middlesex
Jane Bishop abt 1855 Marylebone Daughter Chelsea Middlesex
Albert Bishop abt 1859 Notting Hill Son Chelsea Middlesex

The family seem to have connections with baking as occupations are shown as baker, pastry cook and bakers apprentice on various census sheets. I am hoping someone can shed some light on her mother Mary since I cant find any records to confirm her marriage or anything. Anyone?
