John Baxter   10 Nov 2013 

My family came from Earsdon, Northumberland. They worked for many years in coal minning in this area of England. I have Baxter's in this area from 1700's through 1860's. My ancester from Earsdon is Robert John Baxter and Ann Jobling. I hope that you might have any record of Robert's work as a minner. Robert's father was Thomas and mother Sarah Forster. Thank you
