Hi, I would appreciate it if someone with access to passport applications please look up a William Henry Baker's application around 1873 - 1881 please. He was born in 1857. |

If you suspect he was military, I doubt he would have needed a passport, he would probably have travelled on military papers. |

Passports as we know them didn't start to be issued until the end of WW1 |

Hi Keith, he wasn't in the Military, it was his father in law. |

I am not saying passports weren't issued then - it is just that they were few and far between so it was more common not to have one, than to have one. |
