Caroline Bayman's is the only baptism with that surname in the Hants Bapt. Index. She was baptised at Newtown on 14 Feb 1815 with parents John & Amey 'of Burghclere' so at least she links to your family if only we could find them. I have John & Caroline Rumbold in my database at http://startx.co.uk:2317/Kingsclere?i=10969 and there is a note that she was of Inshurst, Baughurst when she married, however it looks like I was given this information by one of my 'informants' but have not recorded my source so will have to hope that person is reading this and can help further. There is no variant of the surname that I can think of in the Bapt Index and there is no entry for that surname, altho' there are 2 Baynons, in the Hants Burial Index and no entries in the Marriage Index. Berks Marriage index has a John Bayman married Mary Warman at Speen on 16 Oct 1750. The baptism entries in the HBapI are from Anglican registers and do not include any non-conformist ones so it is possible John & Amy used a Methodist chapel for other baptisms. with reference to your first email:- These Baptisms are in IGI batch I013741 1. Louisa Bayman - International Genealogical Index Gender: Female Christening: 23 JUL 1846 Baughurst, Hampshire, England 2. Elizabeth Patience Bayman - International Genealogical Index Gender: Female Christening: 15 NOV 1849 Baughurst, Hampshire, England 3. Sarah Mary Bayman - International Genealogical Index Gender: Female Christening: 14 MAR 1845 Baughurst, Hampshire, England 4. Fanny Martha Bayman - International Genealogical Index Gender: Female Christening: 11 DEC 1853 Baughurst, Hampshire, England 5. Anna Maria Bayman - International Genealogical Index Gender: Female Christening: 01 AUG 1852 Baughurst, Hampshire, England 6. John Bayman - International Genealogical Index Gender: Male Christening: 23 APR 1848 Baughurst, Hampshire, England all with parents John & Sarah I notice that in 1851 Amey Bayman, mother, widow, age 76 born Hiclere (sic) is in household. I have looked for marriages for John & Amey and 1808 is missing from Burghclere BTs, there isn't a marriage in Highclere or Baughurst BTs and the years 1807-1812 are missing from Newtown BTs. sorry I cannot be more helpful -- John Lewis Debian (Sid) with the GeneWeb genealogy package
