Baptism Guildford - Sidney Arthur Buxton
« on: Friday 05 July 19 19:25 BST (UK) »
Hi all,

I have a birth reg. for Sidney Arthur Buxton - 1922 Guildford, Surrey, Vol. 2A - Pg 144 - Line 137, mother's maiden name Randall.   I am trying to establish if he is the child of the following as this is the only likely option I can find.
Marriages Dec 1915
Buxton    Charles    Randall    Chelsea    1a   1237    
Randall    Florence    Buxton    Chelsea    1a   1237   

Any advice on where I can go from here as I've drawn a blank on all my searches and it appears that Guildford baptism for this period are not yet online.

Many thanks.
Stewart, Steuart

In 1939 he'd only be 17y. Do they appear as a family unit in the 1939 register?

I haven't been able to access the 1939 register yet.  I've been trying to work out which subscriptions on Ancestry or Find my Past give access to the register.  I don't want to pick the wrong one and not be able to find what I need because the subs are hugely expensive when purchasing from South Africa.

The other thing is I have no idea at what age he came to South Africa, so might not even be on the register.

In case it helps identify Charles and Florence, the marriage image is on Ancestry

Charles Buxton  62  widower  steward  26 Royal Avenue, Chelsea
Father James Buxton (dead)  steward
Florence Randall  37  spinster  Parish of Aboyne, Aberdeen
Father Charles Randall Sgt, Major retired

Both signed,
one witness was A M M Randall, think the other is George F ?

Thank you so much, this definitely helps!   Especially since I have an age for him now.  I was trying to gauge an age by working back 25 years or so from his marriage date :)
