Baxter Family - Wirksworth

[chrisanne]

James BAXTER was schoolmaster at Wirksworth in 1881 census - his wife, Alice (nee Lidgate) died later that year - James and his youngest 3 daughters, Mary, Ellen & Alice then 'vanished', and emigrated to New Zealand, probably in the mid 1880's. 2 other children, Eliza & James stayed in UK - would like info about the 2 that remained.

Hi chrisanne & welcome to RootsChat

If you already have census information it's helpful if you post the reference (Year/Piece/Folio/Page) as it saves the rest of us having to search again - but we'll let you off this time as you're new 

For anyone else interested, the 1881 ref is 3419/87/29

It shows

Eliza J Baxter  Dau  Unm  22  Dressmaker 
James C Baxter  Son  Unm  20  Chemists assistant
