Hi, I spoke with my Aunty, she said Maggie was the daughter of Willie Bateman whom was Elliot's brother. Apparently she was a tad eccentric remained a spinster but used drive a large motorbike & side car! Sadly she passed away sometime in the early seventies after contracting pneumonia. She had a brother who did marry & moved possibly to the Milford Haven area, I don't have any details of him. My Aunty Bronwyn was quite close to Maggie but sadly she passed away a couple of years ago. Willie did farm at the Croft but  must of taken on Spittal Mill, as prior  to my great grandfather emigrating to Canada he took the lease of the Noltons farm Spittal (now ruinous) this was where Clara was raised by her aunt Martha Jenkins. I'm sorry I have not been of much assistance, my knowledge of Batemans prior to this time.

Re Spittal Mill & the Bateman family Clara Ann Evans was my great grandmother my Grandmother Amelia May Bateman born 1907 lived at the mill with her parents and two brothers. I have a partial family tree for the Batemans going back to 1760's if you need further info
