Thomas Baxter research. Thomas Baxter was apparently born October 22nd 1853 in Poulton le Sands Lancashire.
Rewa
He was apparently the Son of James Baxter who served in the Royal Horse Artillery including. Waterloo. The conundrum is that the list of children of James Baxter and Elizabeth Woodhouse does not show a Thomas Baxter, and there is a daughter born at a concurrent birth date. If any body has any information regarding Thomas Baxter, could they please advise. Thomas Baxter emigrated to New Zealand as a young man, and married and had a family there.
I am a descendant of Thomas, and would appreciate it if you could contact me with any information.
