A measure of her manifold talents was shared by other members of her family.

Her sister, Miss Wakelin, was principal comic dancer to the theatre, occasional actress, wardrobe keeper, and professed cook, being, rewarded for her various services by board and lodging, a salary of L1 11s.6d.per week, and a benefit in every town Mrs.Baker visited, with other emoluments by way of perquisites.

Two of Mrs.Baker's daughters were also members of her company, and divided between them the heroines of tragedy and comedy.

One Miss Baker subsequently became the wife of Mr.Dowton, the actor.
A settled distrust of the Bank of England was one of Mrs.Baker's most marked peculiarities.

At the close of the performance she resigned the position she had occupied for some five hours as money-taker for pit, boxes, and gallery, and retired to her chamber, carrying the receipts of the evening in a large front pocket.
