Hi,
I'm having a hard time trying to locate my ancestors and am getting frustrated!
What I have so far is Hannah May Bateman was born sometime between 1805-1812 in Reading Berkshire. According to the Australian immigration papers, her parents were William Bateman, and Sarah Mathews (I'm not entirely sure on her surmane though as it isn't real clear). According to her death certificate, her parents were William and Elizabeth, but I know that death certificates are not always true!
I found a Willam and Sarah Bateman on the 1841 census living near Reading, who were apprntly born in 1783 and 1790 respectively, so these could be her parents. They don't appear to be on the 1851 census though.
I've had a look on the LDS site, but the don't appear to have the Reading records for the time period I need, and they don't have anything on her parents either.
Can anyone help me please? It would be greatly appreciated!
Sherrie
