The National Library is unable to do any in-depth research on genealogical enquiries, but I think that I can give you some relevant information on this. Barbara "Baynton" was born to John Lawrence and Elizabeth Ewart on 4 June 1857, and was first married to Alexander (not Andrew or Henry) Frater, son of Alexander Frater and Penelope Hay, at the Tamworth Presbyterian Church on 24 June 1880. Their children were Alexander Hay, Robert Guy and Penelope. It goes on to discuss her divorce from Frater, and marriage (the next day!) to Dr Thomas Baynton.
This is taken from his mother's biography
She was survived by her first and third husbands and by two sons and a daughter of her first marriage; a son by her second husband had died in infancy. Robert Guy Frater, her second son, inherited her adventurous spirit: he went to the South African War at 15, raised soldiers for a Chinese warlord, served in the Archduke Ferdinand's bodyguard at Sarajevo and, with his brother, fought with the British Army in World War I. Her portrait by John Longstaff is held by the Frater family.
