ALEXANDER BAXTER of Muswellhill

[Fransmoi]

Born 29 Nov 1872 in Hamilton, Lanarkshire to Alexander Laing Baxter and Mary McMunn . When and where  did he die ? Whom did he marry ?
He was involved in the sale of taxi meters and had made his nephew his heir - until late in life he married ! However sometime after the war  there arrived from the station in Elderslie a large wooden packing case containing a very large painting from Uncle Alex's estate .
It seemed too big for the Forrest bungalow so a friend John Tainsh took it to store and it was forgotten about. More important is our not knowing when Uncle Alec died and who was his new wife.
On his father's death certificate of 1917  he as the informant gave his address as 56 Queens Avenue, Muswellhill. Did he die there 30 or more years later ?
Try as I might I cannot find them and I take all my brick walls to Rootschat....

There's this possibility?

September qtr 1915
Lambeth district    vol 1d, page 1116

Baxter, Alexander L
Parmenter, Adelaide M



He was certainly still single in 1911!

N.B. There are other possible marriages, but no middle initial?

I thought the point was that the father Alexander Laing Baxter had died in 1917, his death certificate yielding a Muswell Hill address as at that date for the son (and informant) Alexander Baxter, but that, other than rumours of a late marriage and a package from his estate arriving after the war, nothing further was known of the son.
