TAYNTON, Bromley

[Eyesee]

Looking for anything about the TAYNTON family, originating with Francis TAYNTON, Vicar of Frindsbury from 1764, and particularly his son John 1774-1831, who was in the HEICS and went to India about 1800, and died there. Married Myra someone.

Have been through the St Nicholas Rochester PRs on Cityark to find all of Francis' children. Although he was Vicar of Frindsbury he appears to have had all the children baptised at St Nicholas. There were some also at West Farleigh, but do not have access to those PRs.

Some of Francis' other children ended up in the Bromley area.

Francis was the son of Nathaniel TAYNTON of Cowbridge, Glamorgan, and married Anne RIDDING in Wonston, Hampshire in 1764.

I am related to the Taynton family albeit on the illegitamate side.  Nathaniel Taynton had an illegitimate child with a local girl Mary Lewis in 1755 at Coychurch she in turn also had an illegitimate child called Nathaniel Llewellyn.

Anyway, I know a fair bit about Francis Taynton and his family if you wish to get in touch.

Thanks Gryffrees.

I am not a direct descendant, just trying to tie up a few loose ends with John and Myra, whose daughter Myra married into the FOORD family in India.

FYI then.
Nathaniel Taynton married Joan Williams. He died in 1755 in Cowbridge.
He was son of Nathaniel Taynton died 1754 and Blanch Jenkins (b.1685) of Cowbridge.

Nathaniel Taynton (senior) was son of Thomas Taynton and Damaris Price of Pontypool.

I have further info if you need it

Sorry, Didn't know anymore about John than yourself. You mentioned Bromley too in the orginal posting. The only other Kent connection I know was that John's brother Francis (1767-1835) moved back to Wales, however his daughter Harriet (1800-1862) married Charles Matthew Thompson (1794-?) and they settled in Westerham, Kent. Thomspon being a Doctor/surgeon.
