Dear Lorraine,

Could you see if you can find any details about one of my ancestors please. Robert Baxter, born l883 in West Ham, East London. He was a purser on a ship going to New York sometime between the lst and 2nd World Wars, and was never heard of again. Perhaps he started a new life in USA???

Will be grateful for any help,

Kind regards, Liz

Dear Lorraine,
I'm trying to trace the above family who emigrated to the US,San Diego I think, round about '58/59?
Jack joined his father in their Painting & Decorating business. They had one daughter Lynn before they left the UK and I believe one son, Craig, born there. Maureen's maiden name was Ackers and she would have been about 19 when they emigrated I Ithink,Maureen's mum Margaret, known as Peggy, was my Godmother and had a boarding house in Blackpool, UK where I was born 4/12/1945. My mother and myself lived there with my beloved Nana until we returned to Huddersfield when I was about 2. Maureen appeared for many seasons in a dance troupe in the Tower Ballroom in Blackpool. My name then was Valerie Caine (now Bailey)

Dear Lorraine,
Thanks for the reply. All I know about Robert Baxter, (my Grandad's brother) is what my Dad's cousin has told me. Robert went to New York and was never heard of again. Perhaps he was there when WW1 started, and decided not to come back. Sorry to be so vague, but there is no one else I can ask now. I don't think he would have been married.
Kind regards, Liz

Hi Lorraine,

Hope you have a brilliant holiday.

Sorry I'm late in replying been having a spot of bother with computer.

That's absolutely brilliant.

Arthur was her son to her first marriage, so you were spot on. That's helped me a great deal. I wasn't too sure I was on the right trail, but your help has convinced me.

I did think Arthur married around 1925 as his children were born 1926 & 1827

Perhaps he was visiting his mother.

Could you do another look up please either his marriage or his family in 1930

Marrriage - Arthur Baker to Edna Sortman between 1920 - 1930 either Pennsylvania or Ohio.

Or
1930 look up Pennsylvania or Ohio
Edna Baker b ? approx 1898 possibly Germany
Doris Baker daugh 1926 Dayton City Ohio
Arthur Baker son 1927 Pennsylvania

Thanks very very much again Lorraine for your brilliant help. It's much appreciated.

Regards, Lou
