Blanche and her elder brother, Herbert Baker – who was now running their father's business at Canon's Marsh Steam Saw Mills – were the two executors of the will. When probate was finally settled later in the year, William Baker's personal estate was worth about £5,311 (equivalent to about £627,000 in 2017) with a resworn amount of £14,938 in November 1884 (about £1,690,000 in 2017). Sneyd Park Villa was advertised for sale in the following year. 104:‘ came into some money from his father and succeeded in amassing a tolerably fair fortune’ – by 1861 he was a successful builder and contractor, employing 160 men, and at some point he also acquired a saw mill at Canon's Marsh, Bristol. The Baker family moved to Sneyd Park Villa in a wealthier part of Bristol. This was a substantial property with ‘lawns, gardens, a conservatory, stables and one and a half acres of land’ plus an adjacent farm. On the date of the 1861 census Blanche Baker was not actually in residence at Sneyd Park Villa, although the census indicates that she is one of nine siblings. Her grandmother Betsy Crispin had lived with them for several years, and there were live-in servants. 189:. By coincidence, her sisters Rosa and Mabel Baker would be managing house for Spencer in the late 1880s and ‘we told him how the reading of this book by had induced her to take the post of art mistress in a London school, and had led to our leaving the country to join her in town.’ It may have been Spencer's ideas on what was later termed a ‘child-centred’ approach to education that resonated with Blanche. The earlier reference to her serving on the committee of a boys’ home seems to suggest social concern on her part and an awareness of the lack of opportunities for underprivileged children at this time before education had become nationally compulsory. 173:
Villa coachman (Wheeler) and the carpenter (Owen). Newspaper accounts from 1880 explain that her behaviour brought about ‘insanity’ and the necessity for William to be ‘removed to a lunatic asylum’. The Baker siblings took the unusual, but understandable, step of forming a committee and filing for divorce on behalf of their father, who was deemed incapable of representing himself. With adultery having been proved, a decree nisi was issued in July 1880 and a final decree in March 1881. The family now had the possibility of holding on to some of William's assets.

pleasant to me.’ Despite this warning, however, Spencer did not act to evict the sisters until 1897, and by then he took a more negative view of their relationship. There were disagreements about expenses, and he complained that ‘the house is occupied by the family, yourselves and relatives; and when I am home the social intercourse and the administration give the impression that 64, Avenue Road is the residence of the Misses where Mr. Spencer resides when he is in town.’

In 1865 Mary Baker, Blanche's mother, died at the age of 46.

Around 1894 Spencer, who was spending an increasing amount of time away from London, gave warning that he was planning to terminate the arrangement at 64 Avenue Road, but wrote warmly, ‘The remembrance of times spent with you and your sisters during 1889, ’90, ’91 and ’92 will always will always be

In 1889 Herbert Spencer, now 69 and a controversial and much celebrated public figure, had grown tired of staying in lodging houses. ‘I have taken a house in St. John’s Wood and am going to have three maiden ladies to take care of me!’ he wrote to a friend. These ‘maiden ladies’ were initially Rosa

The second marriage of William Baker proved even more calamitous than the family had feared. Mrs Gertrude Blanche Baker, in her mid-forties, was an ‘exceedingly improper person, for she was addicted to drink’. She behaved in an ‘unbecoming and indecent way’, committing adultery with the Sneyd Park

Although Blanche was said to have left Bristol in 1878, at the time of the 1881 census she was living with her sister Laura on the farm adjacent to Sneyd Park Villa. However, a few years later she had moved to the outskirts of London – to Spring Cottage, Hanwell, Ealing, near where her father was

By 1918 the Baker sisters were living in a different property in Whetstone – in the High Road – which they also called Sneed Cottage. One of the last of Blanche's works for which there are records was a commission in about 1923 to create a miniature version (4.5 cm x 3.1 cm) of her

One might assume that the settlement of William Baker's estate would have left the members of his family ‘comfortably well off’, so it is somewhat surprising that Blanche's sisters Rosa and Mabel Baker (writing in 1906) reflected on 1889 as beginning as a year ‘of gloom and sadness to us …
