2. Where did William Baxter mainly live?
3. Did he have any children?
( Re 1. possibly a small church yard … request has come via someone who has looked unsuccessfully at information re St John’s Church C 1862, East Tamaki.
Re 2. Localities Manurewa, Otahuhu, Papatoetoe, East Tamaki are all south Auckland area.
Re 3. Baxter births BDM in timeframe, no parents listed. )
