My 4x great grandfather is William BAYNHAM who was baptised on 15 May 1788 at English Bicknor.

The parish register shows his parents as John (BAYNHAM) and Ann ??????

Several family historian have Ann's maiden name listed as LEONARD however I am yet to find the originator who has found a record confirming Ann's birth name as Ann LEONARD.

My aim is to link my BAYNHAM family connection beyond my 5x great grandfather JOHN BAYNHAM so that I can take advantage of the many genealogistes who have extensive family trees.

Can anyone help me?

Many Thanks

I have William Baynham and John Baynham in my direct line. Your dates are not quite matching up with mine. Does your Watkins come from Charles Watkins b. 1805 in Monmouthshire, Wales?

Thanks for your query Lily59

My William Baynham was born about 1788 - he was baptised at English Bicknor Parish, Forest of Dean on 15/5/1877. He married Mary Groon c1808.

William's parents were John & Ann Baynham.

I have a web site that set out my tree in some detail. The url is:
