  Hi Paul....I dont envy you this one........I have been looking for the last couple of hours and Zilch! Do you have any idea why the enumerator wrote Atworth Wilts as Williams place of birth on 81 census? Found the children of course in 91 with Carolines Sister but at the moment nothing else. Having a look to see if one of them died and the other remarried but so far nothing.......

Is it possible they went abroad to set up a home and send for the children later?

Hi Cheryle

Thanks.  The age certainly fits and William was from Northants.

I will have to dig a bit deeper.

Thankyou

  I'm still looking for William Baxter at the moment in the 1891, but will have a look as well to make sure there was not another Caroline Baxter of same age group  in Northants within the many Baxter families in the 81
