The Maitland Mercury & Hunter River General Advertiser of Thursday 13 January 1870 (p1) reported:

SUPPOSED MURDER AT OBERON.
(Abridged from the Bathurst Free Press, Jan. 8.)
A magisterial inquiry was held at Oberon on Thursday, Jan. 6, before the Police Magistrate, respecting the death of a man named John Mulcahey.
The first witness was Richard Wilcox, who deposed that deceased had been living with him as farm servant, and he last saw him alive on Saturday evening, Jan. 1. On that day, about eleven o'clock, deceased, who was then quite sober, went in the direction of the Oberon Road. In consequence of deceased not returning, witness went, on Monday morning, to look for him, and found his mare, saddle, and bridle. They continued the search all day, but did not find him until five o'clock on the afternoon of Tuesday, when they discovered his dead body in the bush. Deceased had been in the service of witness for about three months, and when he first came he said he had had a quarrel with one Martin Long, because he (deceased) would not perjure himself to assist in lagging three men whom Long was prosecuting for robbery ; he said that Long had threatened to kill him. About ten days before the present proceedings deceased told witness he was in fear of his life, for Martin Long was going to kill him, because be (deceased) was about to sue Long at the District Court for £71, due to him as wages.
John Batcheldor then deposed that deceased came to his residence on New Year's Day, about noon ; he stayed for about five and a half hours, and then left to go home. Martin Long came in a few minutes afterwards, but only stayed about a quarter of an hour. Witness knew of the quarrel between Long and deceased, and saw Long threaten to strike deceased with a stick.
Thomas Bourke deposed to having seen deceased on Jan. 1, about five o'clock in the afternoon ; he was going from Bateheldor's towards Wilcox's; witness saw no one else pass that way.
Jane Batcheldor, wife of a former witness, stated that shortly after deceased came to her house on the day in question, Martin Long came, and asked deceased if he would lead two horses into Bathurst for him, but deceased refused to do so, and Long left the house. In the afternoon, when deceased was leaving, Mrs. Long came up, and went after him, but she came back saying that deceased would not speak to her ; she also said that her husband had gone out riding. On the Wednesday evening (Jan. 5) Mrs. Long came to the house of witness crying, and requested her not to mention that she had told her on Saturday that her husband had gone out riding.
William Tilling deposed to having heard Martin Long threaten to have revenge upon deceased.
Dr. Morgan then gave evidence respecting the state of the body when it was found. It was the body of a man about sixty years of age. It was lying on the back, with the arms extended, and the features were much decomposed. The left side of the skull was denuded of the scalp, and a large portion of the bone was altogether beaten in. There was a long fracture extending from the left parietal bone across the opposite parietal bone, and there was another long fracture extending backwards. Such injuries must have been caused by some heavy blunt instrument, and were probably inflicted by some person standing above the deceased. In the opinion of witness it was impossible that deceased had met with his death from a fall from his horse, or that the wounds were inflicted by a kick from a horse. Nor could the wounds have been self inflicted ; they must have been inflicted by some other person.
The finding of the magistrate was that deceased had been wilfully murdered.
It is said that Martin Long has been arrested on suspicion.

1.1.1.3.4.1.11.2 Thelma Violet May Batcheldor (1922…2005) m. Richard Percival Young (1917…2003)

Thelma Violet May Batcheldor, daughter of ERNEST OSWALD BATCHELDOR and his wife VIOLET ELIZABETH JOSEPHINE CALLAGHAN, born 1922 at Oberon, married Richard Percival Young ("Dick") on 12 June 1948 at Lithgow NSW. Dick, born at Lithgow in 1917, was one of six children of VINCENT HENRY YOUNG (born 23 August 1895(?), Stanthorpe QLD) and MAY CATHERINE WILLIAMS (Mae) (born 3 November 1890(?) at Emmaville QLD). Mae, who had lived at Tildsley and Lithgow, was remembered as a soft, docile and lovable lady and great giver; she died at Lithgow on 3 November 1969. Vincent, a coal miner at Lithgow, regarded as a fine and highly moral fellow, died at Lithgow in July 1978. Thelma and Dick had two children:

• ERNEST WILLIAM YOUNG (born 1949; in 1981 married Cathy Stillwell; two children) and
• ROSALYN MAY YOUNG (born 1955; in 1982 married John Howard, five sons; in 1997 lived at 20 Illingworth Street, Wannassia, Canberra).

Thelma and Dick lived and farmed at Edith and later also at "Grand View" Oberon, winning Farmer of the Year several times, with two trips to New Zealand as a result. Their primary lambs constantly won prizes at the Oberon and Bathurst Shows. Dick, a kind, honest well-regarded man and hard worker, had enjoyed and excelled at cycling. Thelma, a hard worker and great sportswoman, showed strong determination and kindness. She was Oberon's district champion pea-picker several times. A fortnight before his fiftieth wedding anniversary Dick was in hospital with a lung infection and some cardiac problems. Dick Young died on 21 November 2003. The Western Advocate published this obituary in 2004:

Edith community loses honourable, loving friend
THE death has occurred of well-known Edith lamb producer Richard Percival (Dick) Young.
The late Mr Young passed away peacefully with his loved ones around him in Bathurst hospital on November 21.
He would have been 87 on February 9.
Dick Young, who was born in 1917, was the second son of Vincent Henry and Catherine (May) Young and was born in Lithgow.
His older brother, Ted, owned and worked the Caltex garage in Cullen Bullen for many years.
Mr Young's other brothers were Charlie (deceased), from Wollongong, and Vinnie and Eric, who have both lived their lives in Lithgow.
His sister, Doris, now lives at Daley's Point on the Central Coast.
From an early age the elder two boys worked in the coal mines at Lithgow in the time when pit ponies were used to pull the skips full of coal out of the mines.
It was hard work but Dick, who was never known to complain about conditions, endured the work to help make ends meet for his family.
He was around 14 years of age when he raced bikes at Gosford, around the era of Hubert Opperman.
Mr Young has a trophy from his bike racing days … a race from Lithgow to Bathurst.
He was also a keen tennis player and loved dancing.
After the WAR he went with a mate to pick peas around the Oberon district and cheekily told his mother he was "going to marry the world's champion pea picker", who was Thelma Batcheldor.
The couple were married in 1948 and he started rabbit trapping with Thelma's dad, Ernest Batcheldor.
Ern would carry 40 or 50 traps on his shoulders and walk for miles, always remembering where he left his traps. (Mr Young said he had to number his).
They had to use six horses pulling a four-furrowed plough and Mr Young would sit on the back, sowing peas and potatoes by hand.
They were hard times and rest days were few, but much satisfaction was to be gained from those days of toil.
Mr Young also went farming with Bill Hughes, from Ginkin, and both Bill and his wife, Sheila, became life-long friends to Dick and Thelma.
Many people will remember Dick and Thelma for their amazing success with their fat Iambs in many Oberon and Bathurst shows.
They were awarded the 2BS "Bathurst Farmer of the Year" on two separate occasions.
The couple were also successful in growing crops of peas, potatoes and turnips and grazing cattle.
As a team, Thelma and Dick worked many long hours through every season at Edith and forged a great partnership of over 54 years.
They enjoyed their farm work, tennis on a Sunday afternoon at Edith with many friends and Dick went to support Thelma and daughter, May, playing hockey on Saturdays.
The couple also loved watching son, Ernie, play rugby union for Bathurst and the Central West in his prime.
Mr and Mrs Young would often run charity "old time dances" in the Edith Hall which has left an indelible print on the minds of all those fortunate to have attended any of these occasions.
When friends think of Mr Young they will remember his good nature, his great spirit and his happy smile that made all of his family and mates feel glad to be around him.
Family and friends will all sadly miss such an honorable, loving man who enjoyed an admirable life.

Thelma Violet May Young died in Canberra on 4 October 2005; the following obituary was published in The Oberon Review of 17 November 2003:

OBITUARY
Thelma Violet May YOUNG
7th May, 1922 – 4th October, 2005
Thelma was the second child of Ernest Oswald and Violet May Batcheldor and was born in Whitely’s house, Oberon. She has an older brother, Oswald who resides in Sydney and a younger sister, Ida Simmons who lives at Norway Oberon. They were students at Edith Public school which was a good 1.5 km walk from their home on their property “Spring Hill”.
Thelma and Ida were renowned for agility and speed picking peas, which was evident at the competition at Port Macquarie in 1942 where Thelma gained 1st place and Ida 3rd. Thelma was accustomed to hard farm work but also enjoyed dancing, playing netball and tennis and scoring for her father’s cricket team when they played locally.
In June 1948, Thelma married Dick Young and their partnership of over 54 years produced many prizes for their fat lambs and cattle at the local shows. They won the 2BS Farmer of the Year competition on two separate occasions. As well as hard work they were highly active in the local community running dances at Edith for charity, organizing tennis at the local recreation courts and they took pleasure in dancing, playing bingo and euchre in both Oberon and Bathurst. They had a son Ernie, who owned Bass Hill Veterinary Hospital for 25 years and a daughter May, who teaches Mathematics and Special Education in Canberra. As a couple, Thelma and Dick supported their children by ensuring they had good academic opportunities and they also loved to barrack at their sporting events. Thelma in fact took up hockey at the age of 44 when the Oberon team in which May played was short of players. She made history when at 70 was the oldest woman in the state still playing hockey and was thus featured in the Sydney Morning Herald.
After Dick’s passing in November 2003 Thelma carried on stoically with her independent lifestyle. She enjoyed playing bingo and euchre in Bathurst and overseeing the work on her farm. A recent highlight for her was to attend her Aunt Ida’s 100th birthday celebrations in Sydney at which many family members were reunited.
Thelma has seven grandchildren who are all in awe of her strength of character and fierce determination to finish a job well. One grandson Stephen who is at present in Ireland has said he thinks of his Nanny when he plays rugby or does anything challenging. Those helping her dig out noxious weeds, collect wood, pick peas, or indeed any physical task, won her admiration if they could work as hard as she could (no mean feat mind you).Thelma has been described as “a champion” and her legacy of a strong work ethic and “achieve the best that you can” will be remembered by her family and friends alike.
Thelma passed away on October 4th in Canberra. She will be sadly missed by her loved ones but will continue to inspire all those who knew her well.

1.1.1.3.4.1.11.3 Ida Pearl Batcheldor (1925…) m. Richard Simmons (…)

Ida Pearl Batcheldor, youngest of three children of ERNEST OSWALD BATCHELDOR and his wife VIOLET ELIZABETH JOSEPHINE CALLAGHAN, was born 14 April 1925. The Sydney Morning Herald 26 April 1947 (p34) noted: "SIMMONS-BATCHELDOR.-The Engagement is announced of Ida Pearl, youngest daughter or Mr. E. Batcheldor and the late Mrs. Batcheldor, of Edith, to Richard, eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. G. Simmons, of Balfour, Oberon."

Ida married Richard Simmons ["Dick"; no middle name]. Richard was the son of GEORGE and MARY SIMMONS. Ida and Richard had five children:

• MARLEEN VIOLET SIMMONS (born 1948; married, three children (Robert, Grant and Nicole)),
• KENNETH GEORGE SIMMONS (born 1950; not married),
• ELWYN MARYANN SIMMONS (born 1952; married, three children (Daniel, Damien and Simone)),
• THOMAS RICHARD SIMMONS (born 1955; married, three children (Lurnea, Shanon and Kira)) and
• RICHARD THOMAS SIMMONS (born 1964; not married).

1.1.1.3.4.2 Hannah Batchelder (1854…1855)

Hannah Batchelder, second of eleven children of JOHN BATCHELDOR and his wife JANE WORRALL, was born 15 February 1854 and baptised 26 March 1854, Cubbington. Hannah died aged 1 year on 2 July (?)1854 [perhaps this should be 1855] and was buried at Cubbington on 5 June.

1.1.1.3.4.3 Joseph Batchelor (1855…1931) m1. Catherine Hall née Hogan (…); m2. Ellen Jane [Nellie] Ro(a)dwell (c1880…1962)

Joseph Batchelor, third of eleven children of JOHN BATCHELDOR and JANE WORRALL, was born 1 July 1855 and baptised 29 July 1855 at Cubbington). [Joseph was incorrectly stated to be be aged 39 years on 1907 birth certificate of their son Herbert Thomas, but correctly stated as 76 years old on his 1931 death certificate]. Joseph emigrated to New South Wales with his parents and brothers William and John aboard the Abyssinia in 1859.

In 1881 Joseph married Catherine Hall [née Hogan] near Bathurst; the marriage of Catherine and Stephen James Hall had been registered at Bathurst in 1868, with possibly three children resulting (Catherine Hall, parents Stephen and Catherine, registered at Wellington in 1866; unnamed Hall, parents James Stephen and Catherine, registered at Hartley in 1872; and William Robert Hall, parents James Stephen and Catherine, registered at Hartley in 1877).

According to Joseph's death certificate, Joseph and Catherine had three children [order uncertain]:

• JANE BATCHELDOR (born c1874 [per statement by her step-sister Ethel as 57 [?] in 1931]),
• female BATCHELDOR (died pre-1932) and
• male (perhaps JAMIE) BATCHELDOR (died pre-1932).

What became Catherine is uncertain, but Joseph married Nellie [Ellen Jane] Rodwell on 15 February 1895 at Evan's Swamp NSW, according to the 1907 birth certificate of their son Herbert Thomas. The certificate also stated that Joseph Batcheleor [sic] was a 39 year old miner born at Macquarie in England and Nellie a 27 year old born at Wolgan NSW. It seems more likely to this author that Nellie was the daughter of WILLIAM RODWELL and ELIZABETH WOOD who married at Carcoar NSW in 1865, where they registered the births of Martha E Rodwell (1866), George W Rodwell (1867), Agnes Rodwell (1869), William Rodwell (1872), Catherine Jane Rodwell (1873), Sarah Jane Rodwell (1876), John Patrick Rodwell (1878) and Ellen Jane Rodwell (1880) [Nellie]. Evan's Swamp is near Tarana, between Lithgow and Bathurst; Wolgan Valley is northeast of Lithgow, the site of oil-shale mining with Shay locomotive haulage to the Newnes plateau, and some grazing. In 1886 the marriage of an Elizabeth Rodwell née Wood to Thomas Kirkman was registered at Carcoar.

Joseph and Nellie raised (at least) four [possibly five] children [not necessarily in the following order]:

• ALBERT LESLIE BATCHELDOR (born 1902 near Blayney NSW; had at least three issue by Christine Lottie Bonham),
• AMOS/AMBROSE BOYES/BOYD BATCHELDOR (born June 1914, birth possibly registered at Moss Vale NSW in 1914[parents indexed as THOMAS and ELLEN J]; died 1999),
• HERBERT THOMAS BATCHELDOR (born 15th April 1907 at Wolgan near Wallerawang, died 1977, NSW; married Irene Margaret Murray at Oberon in 1939; later divorced; one child),
• perhaps REGINALD B BATCHELDOR () and
• ETHEL J BATCHELDOR (born 1910 near Carcoar NSW, living in Queensland in 1977; she married Walter H Ross at Parkes NSW in 1934; one son).

.Joseph Batcheldor, labourer aged 76 years, died at the home of his daughter Ethel Batcheldor at Jenolan Road, Oberon, on 14 November 1931. Ethel deponed that he was son of farmer John Batcheldor and Jane Boyes [sic; Boyes is erroneous], and that though born in England he had lived 73 years in NSW. He had married Kathleen Hall when about 18 years, and Ellen Jane at Glen Alice when about 44 years old. Children by his first marriage included Jane (Living, aged 57 years) and one male and one female deceased; by his second marriage were Leslie (aged 32 years), Herbert (24), Ethel (21) and Amos (17), all living, and no deceased issue.

Ellen Jane Batcheldor, aged 81, daughter of JOHN WILLIAM, died on 3 August 1962; the death was registered at Portland. She was buried with Joseph at Oberon.

1.1.1.3.4.3.1 Albert Leslie Batcheldor (1902…1976) and Christina Lottie Bonham née Marka (1894…1949);
m? Ruth May Worthington (…1966)

The birth of Albert Leslie Batcheldor was registered at Blayney NSW, he was born 5 September 1902, his mother noted as ELLEN J (remembered by Beatrice Cooke as Helen Joan Roadwell or Rodewell). He lived with Christina Lottie Bonham, and they raised (at least) three children [not necessarily in the following order, nor necessarily the issue of Albert]:

• BEATRICE MARY BONHAM (eldest daughter, born circa 1929; marriage as Bonham to Hilton Russell Cooke registered at Paddington in 1949; in 1997 lived at 5 Waratah Street, Bateaux Bay NSW; death on 3 December 2008, aged 79, 'late of Bateau Bay, formerly of North Ryde', noted in Sydney Morning Herald on 6 December 2008),
• SHIRLEY LESLEY BONHAM (as Batcheldor married Kevin Charles Wales in Sydney in 1954; three children (Richard, Robyn and Michael)),
• NEVILLE JOHN BONHAM (Jack; as as Bonham marriage to Edna Irene Lincoln at Trangie registered at Narromine NSW in 1955; after Edna’s death in 1978, he married Robyn —

According to detailed 2006 research by Timothy Metcraft available on RootsWeb [accessed 09dec2010], Christina, born in 1894 in Balmain South, the daughter of JOHN CHRISTOPHER MARKA and LILY NORTH, had previously been married to Stephen John Bonham (born 1880, Bathurst) at Bathurst in 1911. They had ten issue including:

• HAROLD R BONHAM (birth registered at Bathurst in 1918),
• KENNETH STEPHEN BONHAM (born 5 January 1921 at Bathurst; died 28 October 1998 in Bathurst Base Hospital, Bathurst; married Joyce Daphnie (she died 17 March 1999 at Orange)),
  
• ESME B BONHAM (died 1929 at Parramatta),
• ARTHUR L BONHAM (died 1930 at Oberon) and
• GORDON LESLIE BONHAM (died 11 January 1940 at Katoomba; The Sydney Morning Herald of Friday 12 January 1940, reported (p13). "CHILD DIES IN CAR. KATOOMBA, Thursday. Gordon Leslie Bonham, aged one year and five months, died in a motor car early this morning, while he was being hurried from his parents' home at Little Hartley to the residence of a doctor in Blackheath. The child had been ill and had been receiving medical attention. No Inquest will be held.").

The NSW Electoral Rolls 1930, 1936, 1937 and 1943 shew Christina Lottie Bonham [home duties] at Oberon. Those Rolls, and the 1949, shew Stephen John Bonham [labourer] at Bathurst (generally at Duramana) where many Bonhams were gathered. The death of Stephen John Bonham, son of WILLIAM and SARAH ANN, on 19 October 1951, was registered at Condobolin in 1952.

Christina Lottie Bonham died on 17 September 1949 [and was buried at Katoomba], as remembered in The Sydney Morning Herald on 17 September 1952 (p26):

BONHAM -In loving memory of our dear mother and grandmother, Christine Lottie Bonham who departed this life September 17, 1949.
Just a memory fond and true,
To show, dearest one, we think of you.
Always remembered by Les and family and grandchildren.

1.1.1.3.4.3.2 Herbert Thomas Batcheldor (c1907…1977) m. Irene Margaret Murray (…1892)

Herbert Thomas Batcheldor of Oberon (born c1907 near Wallerawang, parents noted as JOSEPH and NELLIE; died 1977 aged 69) married Irene Margaret Murray at Oberon in 1939; Irene died 27 September 1982 in Cobar. The only child from the marriage of Herbert and Irene, which ended in divorce, was:

• ELSIE MAY BATCHELDOR (born 1939, alive in 2002; married Charles de Guarain Sydney in 1957; in March 2007 was living at 12 Simmons Street, Warwick Farm NSW; changed her given name to Diane before marriage [Terrie Woodhams is a daughter of Elsie]).

According to Herbert's birth certificate Joseph Batcheleor and Nellie Rodwell had married in NSW on 15 February 1895 at Evans Swamp, and Joseph was a miner from Macquarie England aged 39 in 1907 and Nellie, born at Wolgan, was aged 27 in 1907.

1.1.1.3.4.3.3 Ethel J Batcheldor (c1910…) m. Walter Harold Ross (…1892)

The birth of Ethel J Batcheldor was registered at Carcoar NSW in 1910 [#13466], her parents noted as JOSEPH BATCHELDOR and ELLEN J. Ethel married Walter Harold Ross (Harry) at Parkes NSW in 1934; they had one son:

• NOEL BATCHELDOR (killed in a railway level crossing accident near Tottenham in central-western New South Wales, circa 1955/6).

Diane de Guara (née Elsie May Batcheldor, Ethel's neice) thinks that Ellen J was Ethel's daughter (out of wedlock) and was taken in as Herbert's sister. Diane also mentioned (19 June 2002) that Ethel had a daughter, BELLE. Beatrice Cooke (pers comm August 2002) says this is Doreen Thomas, PO Box 27, Lutwyche QLD 4030.

In 1997 Ethel was living in Queensland.

1.1.1.3.4.3.4 Amos Boy(e)s Batcheldor (1914…1999)

In 1997, Amos Batcheldor, brother of Albert Leslie and Ethel J, was living at Lithgow. The death of Amos Boyes [or Boyd] Batchedor, aged 85, 'late of Lidsdale', born June 1914, was noted in the Lithgow Mercury on 24 July 1999, which also carried his probate notice on 7 August 1999; he was buried in Lithgow General Cemetery [Anglican portion].

[The birth of an Amos B Batcheldor was registered at Moss Vale NSW in 1914, his parents noted in the index as THOMAS BATCHELDOR and ELLEN J; this may or may not have been the brother of Albert Leslie and Ethel J. Australian Army records note Amos Boys Batcheldor of Oberon, born 1 June 1914 at Wallgrin [sic], enlisted at Baulkham Hills on 27 September 1942, noting his next-of-kin as Ellen Batcheldor; he was discharged a Private at 103 Australian General Hospital on 25 October 1945].

1.1.1.3.4.4 Elizabeth Batchelor (1857…1858)

Elizabeth Batchelor, fourth of eleven children of JOHN BATCHELDOR and JANE WORRALL, was born 10 October 1857and baptised 29 November 1857 at Cubbington. Elizabeth died aged 3 months on 8 January 1858 and was buried on 11 January at Cubbington.

It is likely that he was the John Batcheldor who during 1883 in the Macquarie district near Bathurst married Eva Moore Cunyngham, born in 1865 near Hartley, daughter of THOMAS MOORE CUNYNGHAME and his wife MARY ELIZABETH G MUDGE. To John and Eva were born:

WOMAN BITTEN BY CATTLE DOG.
OBERON. Sunday.
Mr. W. Batcheldor of Edith was savagely attacked and bitten by a neighbour's cattle dog.
Finding the dog at her house she endeavoured to hunt it home by scolding it. The dog attacked her, biting her on an ankle and then on the calf of a leg.
Mrs. Batcheldor failed to make the dog release its hold, and she was thrown to the ground. Trying to force the dogs jaws apart, she called for help. Her cries were heard by her husband, who found it necessary to seize the dog by the throat to make it release its hold. He feared any other means would have resulted in the tearing away of a large portion of the calf of the leg.
Dr. Perkins was called from Oberon, and he inserted eight stitches in the wound. The dog was shot.

His birth was registered by his illiterate father using only one Christian name, John, which he used as his first Christian and preferred name for his second marriage and the birth of at least the first child of that marriage.

Amos, a bachelor farmer of Gingkin (near Oberon), married Duckmaloi spinster Agnes Ellen Lewis at Bowenfells near Lithgow NSW on 9 June 1896, when he was 23 years old, witnessed by William Larnach and Ambrose Batcheldor. Agnes was the daughter of JOHN and MARY LEWIS (Mary gave her consent to Agnes' marriage), and her birth was registered at Lithgow in 1880. Three children were born to this union:

• MAURICE JOHN BATCHELDOR (born 1897 near Katoomba NSW; died 1974; married Grace Elizabeth Langham at the Glebe, Sydney, in 1926
• ALFRED ELI BATCHELDOR (born 1899 near Rockley, died in 1945 at Alexandria NSW [see below]; married Beatrice Nellie Haseley in Sydney on 16 August 1918) and
• HILDA M BATCHELDOR (born 1902 near Rockley NSW, death registered at Paddington in 1935; married Henry V Brown at Cowra in 1919).

Amos then moved to Cowra where the death of his wife Agnes Ellen Batcheldor née Lewis was registered in 1911.

On 2 October 1912, the year following Agnes' death, 39 year old fettler John married 34 year old widowed waitress Mabel Alma Hembrow (née Box) at St John's Church of England, Cowra. The celebrant was the Revd. John Parr, and the witnesses were Francis Victor Amos and Alma Victoria Hutchison. Mabel, born at Brighton VIC on 22 December 1878, was the daughter of Sussex-born Melbourne gardener FRANCIS BOX and ELIZA JANE THOMPSON. A detailed history of the Box family on the InterNet notes that Mable Alma Box (known as May) was born 22 December 1878 and married Earnest Hembrow in 1899; they had one daughter, Doreen May Hembrow, born 1900, who married Christopher James Wilson (two issue, Heather Wilson and Glynn Wilson (Glynn married Barbara with issue Stephen Wilson (married Jane), Timothy Wilson and Bruce Wilson (married Terry) Christopher James Wilson died in March 1975. Earnest Hembrow died in the early 1900s.

Mabel and John had two children:

• HYLTON FRANCIS MELBOURNE BATCHELDOR (Hilton) (born 1916, died 1975; married Marjory May Sutcliffe at Cowra in 1942) and
• REX ALWYN BATCHELDOR (born 4 June 1919 at Cowra, died 2 January 1953 at Cowra; married Marion Johnston at Kurri Kurri in 1945, two children).

John, of Lachlan Street, Cowra, was a 46 years old hotel-keeper when Rex was born in 1919 at Nurse Hood's Private Hospital in Taragala Street, Cowra; Mabel was 42 years old at the time. John, who later worked as a lorry driver (??for Wright Heaton & Co.??), died of sclerosis aged 85 years on 8 August 1958 at the Cowra District Hospital. His residence was at the time was given as "Waugoola", 30 Lynch Street, Cowra. The informant registering his death was his son H F M Batcheldor [Hilton] of 9 Sheahan Street, Cowra. Hylton noted John's issue as (1st marriage) Maurice J, 61, Hilda, deceased, and Alfred, 57, and (2nt marriage) Hylton F M (42) and Rex A (deceased). However, the death of an Alfred Eli Batcheldor, aged 46 years, of Alexandria, son of Amos, was registered at Redfern NSW in 1945.

The NSW Electoral Rolls shew Mabel Alma Batcheldor [home duties] at 30 Lynch street, Cowra in 1968 and Hylton Francis Melbourne Batcheldor [manager] with Marjorie May Batcheldor [home duties] and Robert John Batcheldor [postal clerk] at 9 Sheahan street, Cowra.

1.1.1.3.5    Sarah Batcheldor (1831…) m. Joseph Harwood (c1834…)

Sarah Batcheldor, Cubbington spinster aged 23 and daughter of labourer JOSEPH BATCHELDER, married Joseph Harwood at Cubbington on 8 May 1854. Joseph, aged 20, was a bachelor labourer of Cubbington and son of labourer GEORGE HARWOOD (born 1806 at Hampton Lucy WAR) and SARAH SUMMERS (born 1811 at Lillington WAR) who had married at Lillington WAR 18 August 1833. [The children of George and Sarah, each born at Cubbington, were Joseph Harwood (baptised 16 February 1834), Mary Ann Harwood (14 February 1836), Emma Harwood (3 June 1838, buried 28 June 1838), William Harwood (20 September 1840), Thomas Harwood (24 September 1843) and Eliza Harwood (born 1849)].

Bob Wallis (pers comm. 15jan2004) considers Sarah the single mother of bastards:

• GEORGE BATCHELDOR (baptised 29 April 1850 at Cubbington) and
• HENRY BATCHELDOR (baptised 29 April 1850 at Cubbington).

This may be so, or they may have been the children of contemporary Sarah Batcheldor born 1835, daughter of William and Ann (rf. Secton 9.1on page 66).
Children baptised to Joseph and Sarah were:

• JOHN HARWOOD (baptised 26 November 1854 at Cubbington),
• GEORGE HARWOOD (baptised 25 December 1856 at Cubbington),
• JOSEPH HARWOOD (baptised 6 December 1858 at Cubbington),
• EMMA BACHELDOR HARWOOD (baptised 10 March 1861 at Cubbington) and
• ALICE HARWOOD (baptised 24 May 1863 at Cubbington).

The 1881 census shews road labourer Joseph (47) and Sarah (50) living at Cubbington, next door to Ann and Henry Harris.

1.1.1.3.6    Elizabeth Batcheldor (1833…1842)

Elizabeth Batcheldor (born 1833) died aged 9 years, and was buried at Cubbington on 22 September 1842.

1.1.1.3.7 Harriet Batchelor (1835…) m. Worthy Sly (c1832…1896)

Harriet Batcheldor, daughter of labourer JOSEPH BATCHELDER and his wife ELIZABETH BOYES, was baptised at Cubbington 24 March 1835. Harriet married Worthy Sly at Leamington Priors on 29 November 1852. Worthy was described in the 1881 census as a bricklayer born circa 1832 Brinkworth in Wiltshire; the IGI indicates his father was DAVID SLY. Bob Wallis [pers comm. 15jan2004] notes that the Sly family seems to have first surfaced at Cubbington about 1852; they were traditionally sawyers and appear to have come from Lamerton, Devon.

Children of Worthy and Harriet were:

• JOSEPH SLY (baptised 26 August 1855 at Cubbington),
• LOUISA SLY (baptised 30 August 1857 at Cubbington),
• THOMAS SLY (baptised 26 December 1858 at Cubbington),
• ANN SLY (baptised 24 February 1861 at Cubbington),
• HARRIET SLY (baptised 22 February 1863 at Cubbington),
• LEIS SLY (female born c.1867 at Cubbington),
• WILLIAM SLY (born c.1872 at Cubbington),
• ELIZA SLY (born c.1876 at Cubbington),
• JOHN SLY (born c.1880 at Henley in Arden WAR).

The 1881 census shews Worthey (49) and Harriet (48) at High Street, Wootton Wawen, Warwick, with Leis (14), William (9), Eliza (5) and John (1). Leis and William were noted as unmarried and with Eliza were listed as students.

In 1891 Worthy (bricklayer, 59) was dwelling at Wootton Wawen in Warwickshire with Harriet (57) and children Annie (cook and domestic servant, 20) and John (scholar, 11).

By 1901 Worthy was deceased (his death aged 66 was registered in the December quarter of 1896) and widowed Harriet (midwife, 67) was dwelling at Wootton Wawen with and unmarried children Lois (housekeeper, 35) and Albert John (bricklayer, 20) plus boarders and lodgers..

1.1.1.3.8    Eliza Bacheldor (1836…) m. George Wright

• WILLIAM WRIGHT (born circa 1864, Coventry) and
• EMMA WRIGHT (christened 1868, Saint Michael, Coventry)

There were possibly other children born after 1860; note that Elizabeth was christened a month after Eliza and George were married.

• DORIS WRIGHT (born 1906) and
• ROBERT WRIGHT (born 1908).

In 1997 Robert could boast more descendants than his siblings: six children, 23 grandchildren, 28 great-grandchildren and 2 great-great-grandchildren. He considered that both his father and paternal grandfather, perhaps with another person, emigrated to Boston in 1890.

1.1.4  James Batchler (1806…1866) m. Mary Ann — (c1805…1893)

Much of the detail in this section is based on the comprehensive research of Sue Simpson [pers comm. 19 September 2002 <sue.simpsonuh@btopenworld.com>]
It is probable that James Batchler, baptised 27 July 1806 at Radford Semele to WILLIAM and MARY BATCHELER, was a sibling of Joseph. The IGI on-line notes two children who may have been parented by James [the on-line IGI notes the mother of these children as Mary Ann: this author had previously noted these two children and being christened to Mary Ann alone]:

• WILLIAM BATCHELOR (baptised 28 March 1830 at Radford Semele; died 1896; married Jane Cotterill; six known issue) and
• EDWARD BATCHELOR (baptised 16 September 1832 at Radford Semele; married Eliza —; five known issue).

James and Mary are listed in the census of 6 June 1841 at Radford Semele:
