Also worth noting re familysearch.com, use Edge as your browser.

Indeed Sue & it would've been nice if they'd shown that on their website as it took me weeks to figure out why I couldn't access any records although I could access the site

I refer you to this thread currently on South Africa Rootschat.
It shows the difficulty some are having in getting effective service from SA Home Affairs re birth certificates.

Could the draft family chart please be amended to Denis - it is not Dennis.
See attached ID and Death Certificate.
And a photograph of our mother Christina Johanna Petronella Conradie.
Many thanks.

Thanks Sue (#64) I have applied for a vault copy of FW Batchelder's birth certificate - I see how frustrated my fellow S Africans are ...

Posting again the children of James Batchelder and Naomi Warren
•   Elizabeth Naomi Batchelder birth registered 1850 Marylebone
•   Frederick John Batchelder birth registered 1851 Hendon
•   Asher 1853 Batchelder birth registered St Saviour, Surrey
•   William James Batchelder birth registered 1855 St Saviour, Surrey

Death for James, the father:  James Batchelder, died S. Quarter 1855, St Saviour, Surrey, age 44 (born 1811)

I did some more investigation into the census for James ------

1841 census sees James Batchelder (age 31, not born in county) working as a servant at Cumberland Place, St Pancras.

1851 census John Street, Marylebone. ( I believe this is the correct family, although wife Naomi is called Mary here)
James Batchelor, Head, married, age 39, born Suffolk, Butler
Mary Batchelor, wife, married, age 34, born Essex
Elizabeth Batchelor, daughter, age 1, born Middlesex

I am not having much success finding a baptism for James around 1810 - 1811 in Suffolk.
There is a marriage for James BACHELOR to Susan BAKER – married 14 Oct 1806 St Bartholomew, Shipmeadow, Suffolk
I thought this looked promising, but I can only find baptisms for their 2 daughters in 1820 & 1823 in Beccles
Perhaps someone might have more success finding a baptism for James. (On his marriage his father is recorded as James - a farmer).

Thank you Neale1961
Thank you so much for your research. I suppose my father’s vault copy of his birth certificate or baptism record (I need to find churches in Woodstock) will be the best lead for the real family?
