1891 and 1901 census lookup please
« on: Thursday 19 January 06 08:42 GMT (UK) »
I have checked the many online census sites but unable to find my Great Grand Father John William Batey. I assume that maybe a transcription error may exist. All addresses tend towards Prudhoe / Crawcrook. John was born around 1885-86. His father was a coal miner Robert Batey.  John also became a coal miner. A rather unreliable clue is an old photo that has an Aunt scilla in it. I presume this is short for Priscilla she may be John's sister.

I have spent many hours trying to find him but to no avail and would appreciate anyones help.

Thanks Paul.

Hi Paul,

Just in case:
1901 has a John Wm age 13 born and living at Kirkwhelpington. Father Robert is a Dry Stone Waller / Mason.

RG13/4830 52 3

I suppose you have ruled him out?

Hi Tanja,

Thanks. I did check him out. All the info that I have is very clear that Robert was a coal miner and that the family was very much entrenched in the coal industry.

Thanks for your help.

Paul.
