Batham in Africa
« on: Tuesday 25 January 11 11:09 GMT (UK) »
 From my topic 'Last resort ' posted recently on UK Middlesex board I got the information that the family I am seeking went to South Africa. Christopher William Batham b. 1838, wife Elizabeth and sons William Arthur and Frederick left England after 1871. I am unable to access any records on ancestry.com. Can anyone help me fill in the details of any events is S.A.   Regards Roy

You wont find any South African records in Ancestry.com

I can't see any records that match this family in the NAAIRS databases

Ancestry24 has a couple of records for an Elizabeth Batham dying in Observatory in 1883  and a Christopher William in 1882 buried in St Peter's Observatory.

You may need to look for a burial register from that period in the LDS films - as I cannot see a death notice in the Cape Archives

Couldn't see any information on eggsa - however it might be worth doing an occasional search as they are uploading tombstone photos regularly
Regards

Hi found this on National State Archives South Africa website, look under RSA archive.

A daughter perhaps?????)

Hope this may help?

No problem Roy, you could ask Ancestry24 in South Africa to draw the estate papers for Frederick.These may supply some info on his parents and brother.
