Later life

It seems Peter Paxton died in Romford in 1929. This makes a certain amount of sense since his nephew James had been pro there until his death in 1928.See: http://www.antiquegolfscotland.com/antiquegolf/maker.php3?makerid=293 https://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=97626778

Peter's first wife Sarah had died in 1907 and he missed the Leeds Cup that year. From http://www.britishnewspaperarchive.co.uk/ (don't have access to articles but garbled free bits on 15 May 1907 read eg "LEEDS CHALLENGE CUP. The annual 36 bole* comprtrtion for this trophy iMwfrr the the nortiiern section of the Professions! Golfers' Association took place in sliowery weather yesterday, when, the 51 entrsirUi, all rep,- Peter Paxton (Leeds), who ..." and "place ' yeslerdly at Ilkley in showery weather , ' . when . of / the . i 5 ity-ohe ' ' cntTan ' ts : aU except Peter .

Peter married again in early 1910 to Margaret Jane Lear. https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:2DXM-FVQ A daughter Maude Blanche was born in early 1911 https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:2FGM-8KR and appears in the 1911 census https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:X7VK-LFF for Llysfaen together with Peter https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:X7VK-LF6 (age given as 47) and his new wife https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:X7VK-LFX (aged 24).

Another daughter Dorothy was born in Conway in 1913. https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:2NDD-F34 Victor appears in Leeds in 1922 https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:QV3H-N6T2 (not certain it is the same family). Maud Blanche died in 1921 in Romford aged 10, from http://www.britishnewspaperarchive.co.uk/ : "ROMFORD CHILD'S DEATH Disease Not Recognised. Mr. C. E. Lewis hold an inquest at Romford Wednesday on Aland Paxton, 10, daughter of Peter Paxtcn, Dodiswoll Yard, Victoria Road.

Lewis an inquest Romford Wednesday on Maud Blanche Paxton, aged daughter ol Peter Pax ton, Dodsweil Yard, ictoria Road. Mrs. Pax ton said her husbiuid, who was ex- golf professional, was an invalid ..." Seems Peter Paxton was an invalid by this time and they had moved to Romford.
