William BATCHELOR and Charlotte BELCHER are shown as having married in Hemel Hempstead in January 1852 and post that date appear untraceable. They are not found in Hertfordshire or London, nor in locations their family are found.

Whilst a William and Charlotte BATCHELOR are recorded as having lived in the area for numerous years, unfortunately it is not that family I am tracing. This particular Charlotte was prior to marriage a RICKETT(s).

I have not found any indication that they may have emigrated nor relevant death records : To me they appear lost, so if any other researchers are able to indicate a trace that would be most appreciated.

My thanks in advance.

In my research I have found a Baptism as follows :

Henry SAVEROUSE : baptised 4th January 1846 at All Saints parish church, Winterton, Lincs.

The entry shows his parents as Henry and Eliza SAVEROUSE, with Henry snr. being recorded as an
interpreter.

I believe that the Eliza is Eliza BLYTH (b 1811 Winterton), by reference to Henry jnr. later being recorded in the 1851 Winterton census, as a grandson, aged 5 years, with other BLYTH ancestors.

I am unable to find any BMD info relating to Henry and Eliza's place of Marriage, nor can I find a birth registration for Henry jnr. (though the census entry records Winterton )

Post the 1846 Baptism I cannot find any further records that trace the parents or their whereabouts.

Similarly, post the 1851 census for Henry jnr. I have not been able to trace any of them.

Might theses names feature in your research, that maybe could direct me, to expand my data ?

Any info appreciated and gratefully received;

Thanks Brian

I find the above in my research, but have not been able to trace his Baptism.

The data I have is born c 1781 Ashbrook in Glos. traced from census and Death details.

Found in 1841 census in Herts listed as Not born in county
Found in 1851 census in Herts, birthplace listed as Ashbrook Glos.
Found in 1861 census in London but I believe incorrectly birthplaced as Herts (with his daughter )
Died 1867 London.

I believe Ashbrook is an alt name for Ampney St Peter, in Glos.

He married Lucy TROTT 1805 St Albans, Herts.

Other researchers find a Thomas BELCHER b 1775 Gaddessden, Herts and link him to Lucy Trott.

Any info / knowledge appreciated.

Thanks in advance  Brian E

Might a forum reader(s) have knowledge about Australian miners, in the mid to late 1880's.

In particular was there recruitment that brought them to the UK or maybe to elsewhere via the UK ?

I have traced who I believe may be my GGGF, born in Buninyong, Victoria, Australia through a shipping passenger manifest, where surprisingly a majority of the passengers on his particular passage were, like him, male / single and recorded their occupation as miner.
( I am intrigued as to why quite so many (with the same occupation) would have been travelling together).

I feel there, most probably, may have been some incentive / inducement to have seen so many travelling together.

Any information appreciated.

Thanks
