Hi all My g grandfather, Henry Arthur Baxter was born in England about 1852/3. I cannot find any record of his arrival in Aust. Have searched list of assisted and unassisted immigrants - any suggestions? Know that he was in Sydney by 1876 when he married Madeline Scard (Haven't been able to find this record). They had 5 children Henry Arthur (b. 1877 Sydney), Ada Madeline (b. 1879 Waterloo), Edith May (b. 1881 Woollahra), Thomas J (b. 1883 Redfern) and William Henry b. 24.8.1886 d. 30.1.1887). Searched NSW BDM - cannot find his death; cannot find Madeline's death either. No reason to think they left Sydney. Were living in Balmain in 1887 when William died, and probably still in Bamain area in 1903 when their daughter Edith May Baxter married. Any ideas? Lyn Sydney
