Author	Looking for ancestors... also curious about the ancestry of George Bayntun of Bath

John Starky's ancestors are said to be "of the ancient Lancashire and Cheshire family"... and the spelling seems to have changed with his marriage to the Bayntun heiress, as everything I can find (which is all in secondary sources) shows the spelling of the name in Lancashire and Cheshire to be "Starkey"... and possibly "Starkie" before that, although this connection is less clear. If I were employed and not worried about how to pay the bills next month, I'd buy my own STIRNET membership, because it looks like there is more to be found there (this is the paywall site mentioned in the popup in the image), but at the moment this is not feasible and I have found no printed sources beyond the book that got me started: "The Bayntun Family" by Hylton Bayntun-Coward. This source creates its own mystery. The author is the maternal grandson of George Bayntun of Bath (1872-1940), whose bookshop and bindery are still run by his family today, and they are descended in another line from the Bayntuns shown here, but the ancestors of George Bayntun himself are a complete mystery; nothing is said about his ancestry, and he is an apparent temporal anomaly; the Bayntun family name apparently no longer exists in the male line elsewhere beyond 1716. The red-framed individual in the top left is the last verifiable ancestor I have for that branch, and everything else I can find regarding the Lancashire and Cheshire family spells the name "Starkey" or (medieval) "Starkie". Many thanks in advance for any assistance. GenoPro: Best. Genealogy. Software. Ever. Edited: Tuesday, February 23, 2016 by Jakk

The http://theclergydatabase.org.uk/ gives his record and in detail adds "Foster: s. of Samuel, of Skilton, Cumberland, doctor. QUEENS COLL, matric 28 Feb 1787, aged 17; BA 1791, MA 1809, BD & DD 1810; of Spye Park, Wilts; rector of Charlinch, Somerset 1808; died 1834" The IGI has John Starky England Births and Christenings Name John Starky Gender Male Christening Date 18 Feb 1770 Christening Place SKELTON,CUMBERLAND,ENGLAND Father's Name Starky It looks as though this record is on Ancestry, which I do not have at home. However in our library Ancestry there is no more information. Would need an image to see if there is any more detail. Also the marriage record is No:238 The Rev: John Starky & Maria Barbara Bayntan Rolt; Both of this parish were married in this Church by Banns this Ninth day of August in the Year 1797 By me Thos Bracken, Curate So not sure where the (Rolt) brackets come from. Is this in other records? Edited: Wednesday, February 24, 2016 by appleshaw
