Hi I am new to this list. My research has just moved into this area. My GGGrandfather was Benjamin BATEMAN baptized 19 Oct 1823 at St John Bedwardine. Parents were William BATEMAN b abt 1795 buried 1 Dec 1826 married 24 Dec 1822 at St John Bedwardine to Sarah GIBBS b abt 1801 buried 12 Apr 1825 at St John Bedwardine. When Benjamin was born Williams occupation was given as Glover living at (Nr)?? Pitmaston Any body on the list researching these names? I would also be grateful for any back ground information on the area especially at this time and the church. Also where do I look for wills? Sorry for all the Qs. regards Sharon in NZ
