Surrey Completed Look up Requests / Re: BAX family from Ockley, Capel and Dorking
« on: Sunday 07 March 21 20:26 GMT (UK) »
Good evening, everyone,
My first post here, and I wouldn't generally put genealogical research at the top of my list of interests (perhaps not the best way to introduce myself here!), but I would be interested to find out the precise relationship between my late wife's family and Sir Arnold Bax. My grandmother-in-law was a Moxham, descended from Samuel Moxham of Littleton Farm, Winford, Somerset, who married Susannah Bax in 1858, who apparently came from the Ockley branch of the family. Sir Arnold's great-grandfather, Daniel Bax (b.1777) is mentioned in the Wikipedia article as being the first of the family to leave Ockley. So whatever relationship there is is a very distant one, but as a musician I quite fancy fitting a great composer into my family tree. Thanks, all.
