Among the children of John and Christian Bateman was Deborah aged 22 in 1851 census. She is listed as being born in England yet IGI notes her birth as Halkyn near Flint N. Wales. This area was also a large lead mining place.

There is a reference to Batemans who settled there from Derbyshire and a request for a response from those connected.
