Cornwall / John Hayes Annear 1822 -1849
« on: Friday 19 May 17 04:22 BST (UK)  »
Would appreciate help with this. G. G. Uncle, John Hayes Annear  of Gerrans. Known to be a Policeman in London.  Believe he may have been in Cornwall at the time of his death 24 March 1849, two days before the christening of his daughter Elizabeth.  Husband of Ann Hocking.
I have the Baptism, Burial, MI, and photo of headstone for John but would like to know more about this family. 1861 Census shows Elizabeth living with her grandparents at Polendra Farm.

Was John still in the police force at the time of his death.  If so did his death occur in the line of duty.?

Many thanks.

Isle of Man / Ricchard Baxter
« on: Sunday 08 July 12 04:51 BST (UK)  »
Can anyone help me with information on my G.G. Uncle Richard Baxter?

A newspaper cutting sent to NZ  following his death  (unfortunately nothing to indicate the newspaper or the date, but somewhere between 1887 and possibly 1939) quotes "... the remains of Mr Richard Baxter, an ex-superintendent of the Liverpool Police, and licensee of the Falcon Cliff Hotel was interned at the Borough Cemetery Douglas....."

Living in New Zealand, I an not familiar with Liverpool etc, but research on the internet would suggest that the Falcon Cliff Hotel and the Borough Cemetery, Douglas, are in the Isle of Man.  If  this is so, is there a connection between the Isle of Man and Liverpool?  Most of the hotels mentioned as sending wreaths to the funeral seem to be in Liverpool/Lancashire area.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you
