I have been doing a bit of research on my family name of Baynham. I have been able to trace it back to around 1380 with a person called John Ap EYNON (BAYNHAM) as the first person to take the name, he was from Mitcheldean, Gloucestershire, England, not that far really for 600 years as we live in Birmingham (about 50 miles or 75 km)

I am working on this page and I will update it if I get new information on the origin of the name of Baynham if you have any other information of the history of the Baynham name please email me, contact details at the bottom of the page.
