Birth and death dates of Charles Henry BAXTER
« on: Wednesday 04 October 06 18:45 BST (UK) »
For over twenty years several of my family have tried to find the correct birth date of Charles Henry Baxter.  Born in Leicestershire circa 1867, father Benjamin Baxter (father's name confirmed from Charles's marriage certificate)  The family eventually moved to Leeds Yorkshire but it is not known if Charles Henry came with them.  His place and date of death are a mystery.  Said to have been Nottingham, Leicestershire and Leeds Yorkshire.  I have quite a lot of information on this family but have never found the dates for birth or death, and need them to obtain certificates.  Further information can be provided which may help but am reluctant to post this on the forum.  I would appreciate a private message if anyone is able and willing to help.  Regards Maeve

Don't know if you have seen this one?
Birth March quarter 1867 Charles Henry Baxter Barrow 7a 134
You can order and state fathers name Benjamin and if it is not the case they will not send and charge you £4 I think? :-\

The Barrow birth is not him.

Births Mar 1867
Baxter  Charles Henry    Barrow  7a 134  
Deaths Jun 1867
Baxter  Charles Henry  0  Barrow  7a 85

I'm afraid what information people give on their marriage certificates about fathers doesn't 'prove'/'confirm' anything unless you have further evidence from other sources such as censuses etc. that the information is correct.

The 1871 census shows a Charles Baxter born in Ratcliffe Culey Leicestershire aged 6 is this your Charles?

The only family in the frame at present remains Tazzie's

1871 census RG10 3272 folio 110
153 Syston Street Leicester St Margaret  Leicestershire   
Benjamin Baxter 36 St Margarets, Leicestershire, Head  Married Green Grocer and Framework Knitter
Sarah Ann Baxter  35 St Margarets, Leicestershire, Wife Married
John Thos Baxter 12  St Margarets, Leicestershire,  Son 
Benjamin Baxter 10 St Margarets, Leicestershire, Son 
Charles Baxter 5  St Margarets, Leicestershire, Son 
Sarah Ann Baxter 1  St Margarets, Leicestershire,  Daughter 

The family appears to be missing from the 1881 census. Their son Charles is the 1866 birth registration in Leicester. A possible Benjamin Baxter junior is in Leicester in 1891 occupation - shoe rivetter. Possible marriage for Benjamin junior

Marriages Sep 1880
Baxter  Benjamin    Leicester  7a 249   
Smith  Hannah Elizabeth     Leicester  7a 249   


Deaths Dec 1871
Baxter  Sarah Ann  36  Leicester  7a 128

Potential remarriage for Benjamin senior

Marriages Sep 1872
BAXTER  Benjamin    Leicester  7a 292   
either
Horsley  Martha Mary     Leicester  7a 292
or 
Hunt  Mary Ann     Leicester  7a 292   

Perhaps Mike can find the details of these marriages to see what details of Benjamin senior's occupation/s are given and any addresses which might coincide with Charles Henry's on his marriage. That might help either eliminate the family or possibly connect it to Charles and make it worth further investigation.
