Hi there, Does anyone out there have any connection to the HARPER family From APPLETON in BERKSHIRE ?We know that they were also in EATON and DRY SANDFORD, From 1815 and earlier,until some, of the many family members moved to DUDLEY, ROWLEY REGIS<and TIPTON around about 1877. The BATEMANS were in SOUTH NORMANTON DERBYSHIRE. The names connected to this family are HARPER BATEMAN kING SMUIN HARLE BULLOCK All in the 1800s. If you feel that you can connect to these names and the above places I would be pleased to hear from you Best wishes VICKY.

Have you ever been to Appleton Graveyard to look at headstones for the above names? I sometimes visit there and could have a look if you are interested.

Hello Vicky

My mother's maiden name was Harper. The family lived in the Tipton/Wednesbury area. From the census I have tracked them back in that area to 1881.
Mum married John Bateman in 1943.

Where did you find the Harper-Bateman connection and where do you fit in?!
