Narrative
I searched for Buxton-Carr children born 1933-1973. I found
Name: Michael D Buxton
Mother's Maiden Surname: Carr
Date of Registration: Jul Aug Sep 1945
Registration district: Watford
Registration county: Hertfordshire
Volume Number: 3a
Page Number: 1897
And it's Michael D Buxton that runs the online family tree that's definitely our family, so this must be him.
I also found
Name: Peter A Buxton
Mother's Maiden Surname: Carr
Date of Registration: Jul Aug Sep 1947
Registration district: Ilford
Registration county: Essex
Volume Number: 5a
Page Number: 587
which is suggestive because this branch of the family seems to hang around in Essex, and it's the right gap for another pregnancy, and it's a popular saint's given name!
There are two other Buxton-Carr kids born in Liverpool.
From the online family tree, I found that the "living Buxton" married a "Living watkins". I looked for Buxton-watkins children born 1961-81 and found
Name: Riant Leigh Buxton
Mother's Maiden Surname: Watkins
Date of Registration: Jan Feb Mar 1976
Registration district: Kettering
Registration county: Northamptonshire
Volume Number: 7
Page Number: 2369
and
Name: Toni Alexandra Buxton
Mother's Maiden Surname: Watkins
Date of Registration: Apr May Jun 1977
Registration district: Kettering
Registration county: Northamptonshire
Volume Number: 7
Page Number: 2329
and
Name: Glynn Reece Buxton
Mother's Maiden Surname: Watkins
Date of Registration: Jul Aug Sep 1978
Registration district: Kettering
Registration county: Northamptonshire
Volume Number: 7
Page Number: 2343
which is a neat group of 3. Michael D Buxton would have been 31-32-33 when these were born.
There's another group of 2 Buxton-Watkins kids in Enfield in 95-96 - wrong number of kids, wrong age. That's the lot.
Toni Alexandra Buxton went to Latimer Community Arts College in 1995 at http://namesdatabase.com/people/BUXTON/TONI%20ALEXANDRA/6063553
and she seems to be in the Kettering phone book:
T.A Buxton
<private>
There's an R Buxton and a B Buxton in the Kettering phone book too.
Oh, that's very tempting just to phone her up!
BUT there's another Toni Buxton in Kettering:
Toni Buxton MCFHP MAFHP
<private>
* Home Visits For Care Including
* Hard Skin Removal, Corns
* Verrucas, Nail Problems
* Fungal Infections Including
* Athletes Foot, Foot Pain
* Covering All Of Northants
Classification: Foot Health
From yellow pages! Are these the same people? How many Toni Buxtons are there?
(Actually there's an American author, which doesn't help.)
Then I looked for the Wedding. I found
BMD marriages Apr-Jun 1973
Buxton Michael D Watkins Redbridge 5D 1272
Watkins Lorraine J Buxton Redbridge 5D 1272
and Redbridge is right next door to Ilford (but nowhere near Kettering!)
