NOTE: This tree is a "work in progress". Many of the notes are incomplete and some links will not work correctly, especially when inside a Scrapbook. I still have much data to add and apologise to those contributors whose information has not yet been added. My sincere thanks to all.I have tried to verify as much information as possible but errors may exist or conflict with other sources. Individuals with uncertain details have a (See Notes) label attached to their name.
Any photos will be found in the individual's Scrapbook. Click the "ScrapBook" link in the left menu for a list. These allow only a limited amount of text so I will be adding feature pages containing more detailed notes, photos and links. These will appear at the right of the Scrapbook links.

After his marriage to Isabel, John spent 20 years as a surveyor & public servant in New Zealand. He retired in 1896 and returned to England with his family.
A detailed biography and photograph can be found at the "Dictionary of New Zealand Biography" website: http://www.dnzb.govt.nz/
Isabel, known as "Noeline" Baker, was born and raised in New Zealand. Her father, John Holland Baker, was chief surveyor of New Zealand, and one his team named the Mount Cook glacier, "Noeline" after her.
Noeline's parents left England after their marriage in 1876, and spent 20 years in New Zealand before returning to Engand, with Noeline, after her father retired in 1896.
In England, Noeline studied at the Slade School of Fine Art, London, and became involved in the women's suffrage campaign. During the First World War, she organised training and work for women on farms and was awarded an MBE in 1920 for her help.
After her father died, in 1930, she returned to New Zealand, and lived on Stewart Island, where she published her father's biography. She loved the island and purchased a large area of land, where she built her home, "Moturau Moana". She spent the next 15 years developing it into a botanical garden, filled with plants indigenous to Stewart Island, and was later awarded the Loder Cup in 1949.
During this period, she had briefly returned to England to resume her work with the Women's Land Army, but soon returned to New Zealand to promote the study of post-war reconstruction.
She gave her land on Stewart Island to the New Zealand government, which became a 32 acre botanical reservation, named after her father. The house was destroyed by fire in 1967, nine years after her death, but the garden is still open to the public and remains a fitting memorial to her work.
Noeline remained unmarried.
