Help Please! – BAYNTON/BAYNTUN family of Bromham Wiltshire
« on: Monday 29 June 09 07:04 UTC (UK) »
Hi, my name is Gerry Cullen and I have a large website www.bayntun-history.com online which deals with the history of the Bayntun family from 1100's to present day. I have been working on this project now for 10 years and have had some help in the early stages of my research from a wonderful lady in Wiltshire who used to scan a lot of old books and help me with various references and passages. Unfortunately she is no longer available or interested and I have now discovered that the answers to most of my missing info or unaccounted info lies in the records office at Kew and Trowbridge. My main problem is that I live in Australia and find it difficult to research from afar. I did visit the Record Offices in Trowbridge 3 years ago but was not prepared and  have since found hundreds of references to various documents at Kew that hold all the answers. I am looking for someone to come onboard and help me, preferably someone who would be able to visit one or other of these offices and able to feed off references I give them or indeed if they are able to source the info themselves. Of course research is not as interesting unless you are also interested in the family. I therefore ask those who are indeed curious to have a look at my web page and if it sparks any interest then there may be a desire to be part of my project. I'd like to point out that I would just love to be there in England myself to do this and indeed would spend ever spare minute of my free time doing what I am asking others to do, but my famiily commitments are here in Australia and my mind and heart are in Wiltshire. I can't employ professional researchers as there are just too many references to get through, it would no be financially viable, however I would not expect any other person to do so for free. I am happy to contribute in some way towards their time. I would of course acknowledge any help I get on my webpage and would love to hear from anyone who may have a little time on their hands or preferably from someone who is at a loose end at the moment and willing to become part of my team in the hope that I can add to my research. The webpage is there for everyone to take from should they find any passages or photos of interest to their research. I am most anxious to get the correct info on all of the family and indeed documents held in Records Offices are authentic and therefore the best source for research. I am pleading to anyone who may be able to help me and look forward to any replies.

Unfortunately I am unable to offer my help in this but I should like to commend you on such an excellent website - it is a fascinating history of this family, family connections and the wider historical context in which they lived.   I was hooked for some time as I followed up each connection!
Good luck with your search for assistance.      Wexdor.
