I have been unable to locate John Bissett Baker born 1834 Bristol on any census after 1851. He married 3 times 1852 (Charlotte Gilchrist); 1858 (Caroline Millward); Bristol; then 1872 Holborn London (wife unknown). It appears he died in 1877 in London, Could someone help find a Will or probate for this illusive man? :-S
