hi okkie, we are DEFINETLY CONNECTED my 2xgg grandparents are george harrison batey and ann batey (formerly ORD) both buried at spennymoor cem.
my line is from JOHN BATEY their son born 1878/79 spennymoor married a jane hindmarch.
no i didn't see the entry for Esh Roman Catholic, were was it? okkie. you know i had a feeling the name HARRISON in the middle of his name had a connection to somebody.
you know i think you are right it's our WILLIAM BATEY i am shocked he was catholic. i have only searched in the ANGLICAN faith.
george and ann got married at st. pauls church spennymoor, october 1869.
okkie i heard a RAINE is connected to our family, what is the story abt. him?
i am so happy to have found someone with a connection to george and ann.
hope to hear from you soon.
regards
linda.
