Wow, you're good! Thanks for looking that up for me! And you're right on a lot of what you found. I haven't checked some of it, but looks like you're on the right track.
What makes this confusing is there were sisters named Mary Agnes Baxter and Agnes Mary Baxter.
Actually, Harry Baxter was their brother so the marriage record you found is the wrong people. Just coincidence.
Agnes Mary Baxter did marry a Smith. This is the grandmother of the guy I'm doing this research for. He indicated that his grandfather (he still hasn't given me a first name!), who was the husband of Agnes, died of TB. She then married a Richardson(who later also died of TB) and they had a son named Chester William Richardson.
He also told me that Chester was the half-brother of his dad. Chester's wife was Georgie Richardson, and they had a daughter named Sandra Lyn Richardson who is still alive and also helping on this search by providing names she recalls.
I have dates of birth, marriage, death and even burial records of a lot the names I'm looking for:
Agnes Mary Baxter/Smith/Richardson was born 12/14/1886 and died in December of 1974.
Clifford Baxter Smith was born 05/10/1914 in DC, married Jeannette Tormey (born 1916) on 09/14/1940and died in October 1970.
This is getting confusing to me too, so don't feel bad. As for the Agnes Mary & Mary Agnes Smith sisters, I've found these names and it turns out ALL of the Agneses are the wrong person (still trying to confirm/rule out the Marys)! Frustrating!

The biggest dead-end I'm hitting is with the father and other family of Clifford Baxter Smith. For some reason, the son who asked me to look up this stuff for him remembers very little about his father's dad, only his father's mother. Like I said, I've found a lot about Clifford. Birth records, draft records, marriage records and death records. But nothing mentioning his father's name or his grandfather's name so it's getting almost impossible to trace back.
As for the Thomas name, he thinks May/Mae Thomas was a niece of his grandmother Agnes.
Thanks again for your help! I'll post any updates as I find them and rule out or confirm names and dates.
