Catherine Batson

[welshbear]

I am trying to find out about Catherine Batson - I know she was born 1883/1884 Angle and was married to John Scourfield. I have managed to trace her in the 1871 and 1881 Census where she is boarding in both instances, in 1871 with an 80 year old man named Lane Lewis  Where are her family?

I am not able to find anything about her parents - can anyone help?

Many thanks

Catherine was baptised at Rhoscrowther in 1863 and born in 1862. She possibly has an older brother William George Batson who had been baptised at Angle in 1854.
If req'd (and no one beats me to it), I can have a look at P.R.'s for you on my next visit to the R.O.
I wonder if their father was a soldier based at Popton ??
Have you looked at all types Batson surname in Pembrokeshire on Free BMD.

For additional future reference, an Anne Batson was buried at Pwllcrochan in 1817 and ;
John Batson a farmer of Haverfordwest St Mary married Sarah Thomas at Angle 17 Oct 1830.
These last two x/ref nicely with Free BMD search.

Please post if you are going to purchase birth certificate, then I need not search for the baptism entry.
You don't give an age for John Scourfield, so I hope this may be the gentleman you are looking for;
From my database of the parish registers of Stackpole Elidor in the register which cover baptism 1813 to 1930 I note the following
23 Jul 1852 John to John & Sarah Scourfield of Stackpole Village a labr baptised by F. Geo. Leach
02 Nov 1855 John to John & Sarah Scourfield of Stackpole Village baptised by F. Geo. Leach (Note entered in the margin against this entry is shown "Confirmed 1887")

These are 2 of 7 children shown to this couple who live either at Stackpole Village or Stackpole Quay.

It looks as if Sarah was of Stackpole Cheriton at her death and burial on the 14 Dec 1902 aged 83 yrs buried by Francis R.A. Hamilton

I note a John Scourfield was buried 08 June 1922 aged 66rs by E.T. Roderick and a John Scourfield was buried 24 Aug 1868 aged 43 yrs by F. Geo. Leach.

  Thank you all for your help.

Catherine I know was born 1864 in Angle ( so Omega 1, I believe this is the correct birth record for her - thankyou  ) - I have found her in the 1891 census married to John Scourfield ( born 1859, died 1940)  with their 5 children living at Williamston Carew. In 1881 she was boarding with James and Jane Harris in Rhoscrowther ( and married John later that year - thanks Omega 1 for the ref no for that marriage) and in 1871 was boarding with Lane Lewis @ Corside Farm House, Rhoscrowther. Anything further back than that, I just don't know.

Orielbenfro - your findings of John Batson and Sarah Thomas of Angle marrying in 1830 is certainly worth me pursuing as these may be her parents?  I have as yet not searched FreeBMD for Batson - only for Catherine's birth and found nothing. On your offer, I would welcome you to look at the PR's at the RO on your next visit - thank you.

Hello Welshbear

I found Catherine & William George`s birth on FindMyPast.It was`nt on freebmd.

Looking through the Census,there certainly are`nt many Batson`s in Pembrokeshire.

Good luck with you research

Kind regards

Catherine I know was born 1864 in Angle

No she wasn't I'm afraid she was born in 1862 most lightly at Rhoscrowther and baptised at Rhscrowther in 1863.

If this information is unacceptable and I know beyond doubt there is no other Catherine Batson in the area, then there is little point in my looking at P.R.'s. Likewise goes for John Scourfield of Stackpole.

I have located another John Scourfield baptised at Carew in 1860, much closer to East Williamston than Stackpole, Angle et el., and the date of your interest.
