Family History Beginners Board / Re: im a newwie...where do i start ??

hi, thanks for both your replies. My dad found the plaque buried in mud in Norwich which is in Norfolk. I cant seem to find any Baynton from around this area so how the plaque came in norwich is another mystery !! Im presuming in 1880 when Jon Baynton left this school as a secretary he may have been nearing retirement so birth may have been around 1820. Ive also noticed when you start digging around and find records people want to start charging you which is a bit annoying !!!

Family History Beginners Board / im a newwie...where do i start ??

HI there everyone , when my dad when younger ( about 1960s) he used to help a building merchants. He found in the mud a plaque which was presented to a Mr John William Baynton on the 10th November 1880. It was given to him "by the teachers and friends of Avenue Road sunday school for his services as secretary". My dad has always wondered whether we could find any info as to whom this person was and anything about him. This plaque is over 140 years old now. It would be nice to pass this plaque on to his family. So where do i start ? I had a look on the 1901 census and it bought up so many as the only information i have on this chap is whats above on the plaque. Any suggestions ??

kind regards
Millie
