Notes for Matthew Baines MD
One of these is possibly his first marriage:

Surname First name(s) District Vol Page
Marriages Sep 1853   (>99%)
BAINES Matthew Chelsea 1a 260   
BARNES Laura Susanna Chelsea 1a 260   
Bryant Edmund Howard Chelsea 1a 260   
Diggens Jane Chelsea 1a 260

In the 1861 census these Edmund Bryants with Laura or Jane wives were to be found:
(a) aged, 32, wife is Jane with a dau age 6 and son aged 5m in St Giles, London.
(b) aged 44, wife is Jane, eldest s. is 14, living in Battle Sussex (NO)
(c) aged 32, wife is Jane, eldest s. is 8, living in Bedfordshire (POSS)

This means that it is very possible that Matthew Baines’ first wife was Laura Susanna Barnes.

In 1861 he was a widower with his daughter Laura May, who stayed at home until he died in 1906:
