Families covered: Bayntun (Baynton or Bainton) of Bromham, Bayntun (Baynton or Bainton) of Faulston (Falson)
Commoners provides the first few generations of this family but it should be noted that the family web site referred to below disagrees with much of it. This leaves us with somewhat of a quandary as we are impressed by that web site but, in the absence of detailed analysis of how it sourced its information, feel obliged to give some precedence to Commoners & Visitation even though we know that they are not always reliable. By following Commoners (& Visitation) for some generations, and the family site on others, the following represents something of a compromise and so may not be fully accurate. Commoners starts with ... | |||||||||||||||
