I am not an expert in copyright law but if you post something on an open forum such as this one I doubt if you can ensure copyright protection.  What is your concern here?

   Good morning NGB. I have extensively researched the areas owned by the Bamber's and their
grandmother. The findings are startling, everything I have discovered can be backed up by archaeological
and documentary evidence. To prove ownership of an idea it has to be published.

I would be interested to hear what you have discovered Campion.  I wish I could help you on the copyright issue but it is not my area of expertise I am afraid.

   Thankyou NGB and nugnug for your input, I will start posting later on today, if it transpires that anyone
is interested in what I have discovered will remain to be seen ?

A problem with copyright is that it doesn't stop someone from publishing their own version of what you've discovered.
