John Bate.

[Sandiehawk]

 Dorothy Bate born 1 Dec 1799 in Egloshayle Cornwell.  Died 23 Feb 1853 Egloshayle.
 Married  Thomas R Curgenven in 1823. He was born 23 Oct 1789 St Kew, Cornwell. Died 1840 St Kew, Cornwell.
Son John born 1824 in Cornwell? and died in Melbourne Victoria in 1902.

 How likely would it be that the son John would be called John Bate and not John Curgenven?

Thank-you for any help.
Sandie.

Thanks Solidrock, I hadn't seen that entry. I presume that she later married Thomas Curgenven but son John kept her name?? 
I might have it all wrong.

I don't think Dorothy ever married the parish registers for  Egloshayle  show her death 1853 as does the GRO.

Thank-you Solidrock. You're right, it seems that Dorothy remained single.
