Wiltshire / BAYNTON/BAYNTUN/BAINTON FAMILY OF WILTSHIRE
« on: Wednesday 14 October 09 06:54 BST (UK)  »
I have a website www.bayntun-history.com and was wondering if there were any good folk in Wiltshire who would be interested in sharing some info with me to add to the content of this website. I am based in Australia which makes researching from abroad quite difficult at times and do have a lot of leads that could provide some interesting information. From time to time I find entries that relate to documents that are in various record offices such as Trowbridge, Kew and Somerset and was wondering if there was someone out there who would like to be part of my website and help me make it even better. Thanks Gerry Cullen

Wiltshire / Help Please! – BAYNTON/BAYNTUN family of Bromham Wiltshire

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.
