WILLIAM BATEMAN great, great, great grandfather born abt 1819 in Bitton Parish, Gloucestershire ;
died June 13th, 1905, at Easton, Bristol? buried at Zions Chapel, Kingswood, Gloucestershire.
He was I believe the son of WILLIAM BATEMAN and ANN BATEMAN (nee HAWKINS)

I believe his mother married secondly a John Lear who was dead by the 1841 census.

WILLIAM BATEMAN married firstly MARY ANN WILLIAMS (Williams Family Tree) September 12th 1841
in Mangotsfield, St James, Gloucestershire. Daughter JOHN WILLIAMS and PHEBE WILLIAMS (nee EVANS)
of Hanham Parish, Gloucestershire.
