  • Raymond Fredrick Baxter born 1922, Illford, Essex

    Does any one know who the parents of TV presenter Raymond Frederick Baxter were. Apparently he is related to my husbands grandmother but as yet I cannot find the connection. He died in 2006 and obits say his father was a science teacher but not what he was called.

      It looks as though Raymond's mother's maiden name was Retzabach.

      There is a marriage of Frederick G Baxter to Rosina E Retzbach in 1917 West Ham.

        Just been looking at Wikipedia with links to obituaries in various newspapers, but I guess that's where you've been looking.



        Although there's details of a autobiography on there which could mention his family - perhaps you local library has a copy?

        Here's the birth reg details - Mar qtr 1922 Raymond F Baxter Romford 4a 1032 MMN Retzbach

            My late uncle was also a journalist and at one time worked in the same newspaper office, long before Raymond Baxter became a TV personality.

              I am still trying to find the connection with Raymond Baxter to my husbands Grandmother. She always said they were cousins. She was Milly Emily Taplin b 1904 Odiham, Hampshire. Her parents were Henry James Taplin 1866, Odiham, and Agnes Grigg b 1869 Hampshire. Any one any ideas?

                Elizabeth Jane Grigg married Ernest Baxter b1861 London. Don't know anything else about him. Elizabeth was was sister of Agnes Grigg. So Ernest Baxter is the link to Raymond but I don't know how!!!

                  the only thing I can suggest is tracing Ernest forward to see where that takes you.
