Charles Edward Baynham, born Leominster district, 4th November 1878

[Smilingwillowb]

My maternal grandfather, Charles Edward Baynham, was the son of William Baynham (born at Much Marcle, 1845) and Harriet Elizabeth [nee Wilce] Baynham (born at Ross-on-Wye, 1850). Charles' birth entry has him being born in the sub-district of Bodenham, yet it also says that he was born at the residence of his father, which appears to be The Waltons, Leominster [see attachment]. William's occupation was given as being a "railway labourer," although I've elsewhere seen him described as being a timber merchant for the Great Western Railway.

Does anyone know where The Waltons was?

William, Harriet, and family left Leominster in the late 1880s, ending up at Chester around 1890.

A Google search suggests it is still here.

Here it is in 1881,  a long private drive off ginhall lane.

Thanks, mazi. I'd done an online search, and the only 'The Waltons' that showed up was Waltons Farm Cat Hotel, Ginhall Lane, but that's on the west side of Leominster, and Bodenham is a few miles south of the town, so I thought it was unlikely to be the right placeit. But if the farm was there in 1881, I guess that must be it.
