So sorry to bother you again, but the images on Ancestry are against me at the moment.
This 1861 image:
RG 9/ 2540/88 Page: 50
looks like it could be the Thomas Bateman that I am looking for, who is the son of Thomas Bateman the antiquarian, but again i'm struggling to read the place of birth, it is Derby ..........
quite exciting this as the marriage certificate of my friend gt Grandmother (Sarah Bateman) has Thomas (deceased) as her father and his occupation as Gentleman.
As mentioned above he is mentioned in census as living on his own means and one census has his birth place as Youlgreave in Derbyshire. This links to the 1961 census above which has his father Thomas and mother Sarah living in Lomberdale House (the musem of Thomas Bateman).
Just a bit of background, and hope someone can help.
Neale
