    Harold BUXTON Buried 12th March 1896 aged 5 days Son of unmarried Mary Buxton. but which Mary? In the 1911 census Mary Twigg (nee Buxton) states that she has had 8 children but only 5 were still alive. Elsie and George were two of the three children that died; who was the other? The most probable is Harold Buxton who’s birth and death were registered in Chesterfield in the first quarter of 1896. He was baptised and buried in St Thomas Church in March 1896. The baptism record notes Mary Buxton as a single woman. The burial record gives Harold’s age at death as being 5 days. However there seems to be a problem with the date, his baptism was dated 21st March and his burial dated 12th March. Only one Harold Buxton’s birth and death was registered in that year. He would have been Mary’s first child but the father is unknown but it could have been Reuben who married her after her third illegitimate child.
