Durham Lookup Requests / Re: George Batey
« on: Saturday 26 June 10 18:21 BST (UK)  »
Hi Janis!

Thanks for the help! It's crazy, but my grandfather and aunt had some papers and birth certificates. I wasn't exactly sure where everything fit but you helped confirm that for me. 

Turns out among other things, we have the original wood trunk my line of the Batey's came over to America with.  There is also a church type book that listed all the kids that Thomas Atkinson Batey (A. was for Atkinson) and Elizabeth Batey had including the death dates for the children.

The document I found, which i previously wasn't sure where it fit, says that Thomas Atkinson Batey was born April 9, 1815 and died July 10, 1882. THEY WERE MARRIED March 25, 1838 in what looks like (writing is faint) Milburn Place, South Shields, England.

I'm new to this and not sure what sites to go to....where would I track down documents on Thomas Atkinson Batey and Elizabeth Batey from Milburn Place?

Thanks again! Before your help I wasn't sure where everything fit and you helped me put everything together!

Best,

Andrew

Durham Lookup Requests / George Batey

I'm totally new to this and just starting out. I recently attended my grandfathers funeral in Wilkes-Barre, PA and realized that a significant amount of my family is from Wilkes-Barre/Plymouth, Pennsylvania.

Does anyone have any information about any Batey's coming to that area of the US?

Last Solid information I have is George Francis Batey (1885-1970) married to Nellie Durbin Batey (1886-1965). I was told George's dad was burried in a nearby cemetary that had a lot of flooding so the stones have been wiped away. I believe his fathers name was George as well and I was told he had a brother named William.

Any help?

I've traced the Durbin's back to George Durbin (1852-1894) married to Caroline Durbin (1851-1912). Those are Nellie Batey's Parents.

Any help?
