Dear List, I have had such a great deal of help from you in the recent past with my JAMES/JOHN/LLOYD and connected families from Pembroke, and I am loathe to ask again, but, I do have a question to ask if I may? Where can I find the Parents/Siblings of Eleanor BATINE who married John JAMES, Farmer of Pencnwc Farm, in the parish of Dinas in 1839? I am intrigued by her surname? I have tried googling the name BATINE and it appears that it is Spanish in origin, would anyone know if that is correct please? Many thanks for any help offered, Kindest Regards, Carol Lloyd _________________________________________________________________ Tell us your greatest, weirdest and funniest Hotmail stories http://clk.atdmt.com/UKM/go/195013117/direct/01/

Dear Carol, I can't tell you the origin of the surname, and I thought, obviously incorrectly, I had given you plenty of clues to follow with the article by Major Jones "Lloyds of Hendre and Cwmgloyne" in which it is stated that the nine children of Evan Williams of Trellyffant, Nevern who died in 1803 and his wife Anne daughter of Evan Llewelin of Llandre included No. 7 "Elizabeth Williams, baptised in 1770, married Thomas Batine of Llanwnwr, Llanwnda parish. She died on 25 July 1853 and her husband on 21 February 1855, both aged 84. One of their seven children, namely Bridget Batine, married on 29 July 1828 John Williams (died 1869 aged 68) of Felindre near St. Nicholas........."- Thomas Batine married Elizabeth Williams in 1802 at Nevern. His Will is easily accessible on The National Library of Wales - pre 1858 Wills site...year 1855. Thomas Batine, Gentleman, left a comprehensive Will in which his daughter Elizabeth played a major role, but he also mentioned Bridget Williams of Granston, a granddaughter Ann Clement James, other James grandchildren but not my name, and his daughter Eleanor James. The last item in the Will is a statement by John James, Eleanor's husband that Elizabeth's surname is shown incorrectly in the Will, and that she is at that time Elizabeth SAMBRUCK. Please go on-line and check it out for yourself. Someone may be able to give you more information about these families. or you could perhaps chase them through census entries. Under Llanwnwr, Llanwnda, Major Jones wrote "1789 Thomas Griffith, Esq. gave a lease of Llanwnwr (minerals excepted), and certain rooms reserved to lessor) to William Batine of Barrett's Hill, Steynton, gent for the lives of William's wife Dorothy and their children, Thomas and Mary Batine. Thomas Batine the son remained there till his death in 1855. The family of Mortimer (from Trehowel) came to live there......." I'm sorry....I had William Batine's will abstract in my hand only the other day, but it has disappeared into my boxes, but you can also look at it on the website.
