• Census. 1881 Census shows the following living at 51 Havana, Tanfield, Durham: Miles BateyHeadCoal MinerAge 33Born Lamesley, Durham Sarah BateyWife 31 Hallgarth, Durham William J BateySonDriver in coal mine 14Rainton, Durham Maria BateyDaughterScholar 8Collierley, Durham Thomas H BateySonScholar 4Lanchester, Durham Census reference FHL Film 1342188 PRO Ref RG 11 Piece 4941 Folio 9 Page 16 This Sarah Batey, however, was not our Sarah Batey. Miles Batey had been married before. He married Sarah Henderson on 24 July 1865 and she bore him the three children shown above. She died after the 1881 census and on 14 January 1882 Miles married Sarah Oliver at Lanchester Reg ister Office. There is a discrepancy in the age given on her marriage certificate, where she is described as 24 -- in fact, she can only have been 19. This is the entry for Sarah Oliver in the 1881 census: Dwelling:12 Wagtail Census Place:Holmside, Durham, England Source:FHL Film 1342190 PRO Ref RG11 Piece 4949 Folio 70 Page 15 MarrAgeSexBirthplace Mark YOUNGM31 MBelstill, Northumberland, England Rel:Head Occ:Colliery Blacksmith Margery YOUNGM25 FWinlaton, Durham, England Rel:Wife Isabella YOUNG 8 FWinlaton, Durham, England Rel:Dau Occ:Scholar Thomas YOUNG 7 MWinlaton, Durham, England Rel:Son Occ:Scholar Catherine YOUNG 4 FHolmside, Durham, England Rel:Dau John OLIVERW53 MWinlaton, Durham, England Rel:Father In Law Occ:Blacksmith Sarah OLIVERU19 FWinlaton, Durham, England Rel:Sister In Law Thomas OLIVERU17 MWinlaton, Durham, England Rel:Brother In Law Joseph OLIVERU14 MWinlaton, Durham, England Rel:Brother In Law Willm.

Miles Batey was seriously injured in a pit accident (Anne Batey remembers a photograph of him in a wheelchair). He died on 18 December 1907 and Sarah married Henry Bird on 20 February 1909. He had been a lodger. On 3 June 2003 we obtained the marriage certificate for Henry Bird , 40 years, Bachelor, coal miner of Pear Tree Cottages Burnhope to Sarah Batey, 45 years, widower of Burnhope at Lanchester Register Office on 20 February 1909. Henry Bird was son of William Bird (deceased) and Sarah Batey daughter of John Oliver (deceased). Henry Bird and Sarah Batey both made their marks.

Sarah married Miles Batey on 14 Jan 1882 in Lanchester, County Durham England. (Miles Batey was born on 1 Aug 1847 in Pennyfine, Lamesley, Durham England and died on 18 Dec 1907 in Burnhope, Holmside, County Durham England.)
