Hi Karen,

Looking at the given Baxter names, these Frodsham baptisms may be useful.
Catherine Baxter 19/10/1794
Martha Baxter 19/1/1780 or 1781
Robert Baxter 23/9/1781
They are all children of Robert Baxter/Martha - possible Frodsham marriage 20/11/1776 Robert Baxter & Martha Norcott.

It maybe unrelated, but on my tree I have an 1853 Frodsham marriage for Martha Norcott (1821) & Samuel Fletcher (1812). Their son Samuel Fletcher married Mary Augusta Jenkins in 1879 Frodsham. Mary Augusta is the daughter of our relative Robert Jenkins (1832 & Mary Snelson (1834)

There are a number of Baxter families in the Alvanley area - pretty close to Frodsham.

I came across this as well - Robert Baxter of Alvanley married Ann Morrow on 26/8/1752 Frodsham. There is a possible Frodsham baptism 26/8/1755 for a Robert Baxter, son of Robert & Ann Baxter.

Apologies if you already know this.
All good wishes,
Philip Jenkins

Hughes/Jenkins pre-1650 north Wales., possibly Anglesey/ or Huyish of Somerset.

Apologies, Twdyr, as I just realised I hadn't replied!

I knew about the Baxter baptisms - this is definitely my family. The Baxter/Morrow marriage and baptism of Robert Baxter is one I've looked at before and feel it is probably my family but, as yet, cannot prove it. I'm hoping any grave inscriptions may help.

Thanks for taking the time to look.
