Irene Baker was born on 5th May 1869 at Llanelli in Carmarthenshire, daughter of Margaret Baker, formerly Langdon, and her husband William Baker, a mariner. The family moved around several times whilst Irene was young; she had younger siblings born in Merthyr and Swansea. The 1881 census finds the family living at 44 Brynmelin Street in Swansea.
In 1889, aged 20, Irene married John Maitland. He had been born in Aberdeen but brought up in the north-east of England. He worked as a fitter and engineer. The couple has not been found in the 1891 census. They appear to have had a daughter in the early 1890s (for whom no birth certificate has been found) and a son in 1896. They later claimed to have had six children in total, but four had died before 1911.
The 1901 and 1911 censuses each find the family living in the western suburbs of Cardiff. At the outbreak of the Second World War, John and Irene were living at 24 Bromfield Street in Cardiff.
Irene died in 1952, aged 83. John survived her by less than a year, dying in 1953, also aged 83.
