On 10th May 2020 I was able to connect him to my family and tell him that we were indeed fourth cousins. The above chart was added on that day. Anthony also wrote the following on 10th May 2020 confirming I think that I have the right William BAXTER found on the CGWC site above. My mother Agnes, A.K.A Diane was employed by Cunard White Star Line back in the thirties and she travelled all over the Globe on cruise ships as well as serving her time on R.M.S Queen Mary. That life all ended with WW2. Mum met a young Petty Officer when she was with Cunard and they decided to get married after war broke out as he was to be conscripted to sail with the Arctic Convoys. The Guy's name was William ( Bill ) Baxter, they had only been married maybe for a month or so when mum got the telegram. The ship had gone down with the loss of all Hands! Later on in the War Mum volunteered for the Civil Defence in South Croydon. At that Station there was an older Guy named Harry Basil Wetjen. In 1943 Mum and H.B.W. got married and I was born in 1946. Dad had served in The Great War and had been wounded a couple of times but joined the Civil Defence in W.W.2.

The idea of these charts is to give the information that we have found in the research we have done and put together and with the help of many other people who have contacted us over the past thirty odd years we have been researching our family. The idea is that you click on the Chart box in blue to be taken to the next family. There is now a large number of charts to be found and connections can be made to all the main families I am researching. If a chart has a box with the standard background it means that as yet I have not put the Chart on the Web.
To conform to the Data Protection Act all the Charts have been altered to exclude all details for living people other than the name.

If you have comments, alterations, corrections, amendments etc. please follow the details to be found on the Home Page to contact me.
