The lost Arthur (David) BLAYNEY link to Australia
David BLAYNEY ancestor of an Australian clan
One genealogy claims this David was David Lloyd BLAYNEY b.1523, son of Thomas BLAYNEY and Gwenthlean HERLE which is a 300 year impossibility. Maybe the words "descended from" need to be used!
Nor can this Arthur be the 4th son of the second marriage of Sir Arthur (Anthony) BLAYNEY [1603-1659] (also an Arthur), because even if Sir Arthur conceived him on his death bed, David's father, Arthur would have had to have lived to 168 to conceive David (born 1827).
A number of sources give David's father as Arthur BLAYNEY, Blaney or Blainey and mother as Jane and so this genealogy starts with Arthur born 1782 in Chesire. His father is identified as Richard (married to Amey) [1361]. I have yet to discover the origin of this Richard which points me away from the usual genealogies of the "eminent" gentries and perhaps more to less "legitimate" sources. One real possibility is that this Richard was the illegitimate son of Richard Blayney and Jane Davies in 1755 (see "Bastardy papers" in the Montgomeryshire Parich Records [1349]), as this fits the timeline and would link this Blayney branch directly to the Montgomeryshire Welsh Blayneys.
However, fairly reliably , I have:
