Wiltshire / Re: William BAYNTON/BAYNTUN
« on: Saturday 03 August 13 12:18 BST (UK) »
Hello everyone,
With reference to my original post about my 9xGrandfather William Baynton and his place of birth, well I have had some new info come to light and I have found another additional marriage document, which states that, 'William is of Wootton Rivers but now of Wolshill Joan is of Westcots'. Also that his wife Joan Baning was of Westcots. As we know they were married on the 2 May 1586 Burbage, Wiltshire. I have also reassessed his date of birth as I now believe he was born about 1555 and not around 1541 as I initially stated. The reason for this is that I think that this is a more plausible date. Given that I now know where William came from, I may be able to find a birth record for him and more importantly his parents. What I would like to ask is if there is anyway that I can gain access to these records or if indeed if any exist. Any help would once again be most welcome and very greatfully appreciated.
Best Wishes, on this super hot weekend
Simon
