  Notes	BIOGRAPHY. Annie Logan Redpath was born in 1871 at Glenledi near Milton, Otago. She attended Waitahuna and Mount Stuart schools. In 1894 Annie married John Henry Bateman (known as Jack), at her mother's home at Mount Stuart, Otago. Annie and Jack had both been working in Waitahuna - Annie as a domestic servant and Jack on his grandfather's farm. John Henry Bateman was born on 19 July 1867, in Bampton in Oxfordshire, England. He was the eldest child of Thomas Henry Bateman and Elizabeth Edwards. The family left England at the end of 1882 on the Wellington and arrived in Port Chalmers on 12 March 1883. The family lived at Fairfiew Farm at Mount Stuart, but Jack, who was fifteen, went to live with his mother's parents John and Louise Edwards. Jack's grandfather was managing a farm at Glenledi near the coast from Milton. He worked there for several years then returned to Waitahuna when his grandfather bought the property known as 'Paddy's Point'. The couple lived at 'Paddy's Point' with Jack's grandfather Edwards until his death ten years later. By this time Annie and Jack had seven children and Jack was working for Otago Farmer's Agency. When John Edwards died the farm was sold and Jack and Annie moved to Waitahuna. Jack died on 20 March 1925 in Waitahuna and is buried at Waitahuna. Annie died 21 January 1949 at Waitahuna and is buried with Jack (and his parents) in Waitahuna cemetery. The following obituary appeared on page 31 of the Otago Witness on 31 March 1925. Obituary Mr J H Bateman died last Friday after a short illness, aged fifty-seven years. Mr Bateman was a public man and a very great favourite with all he came in contact with. His loss will be greatly felt in Waitahuna. Mr Bateman leaves a wife and five sons and three daughters to mourn his loss. The funeral on Monday was the largest seen in Waitahuna for very many years.

  Marriage	03 Feb 1926	Dunrobin, Otago, New Zealand   [9, 14, 15]
  Notes	WEDDING McLay - Bateman A quiet but pretty wedding was solemnised at the Presbyterian Church, Dunrobin, on February 3, when May, second daughter of Mr and Mrs H. McLay was married to Albert Redpath Bateman, fourth son of Mrs and the late Mr John Bateman, of Waitahuna. The Rev. J, Cawley was the officiating minister. Mrs H. Duff officiated at the organ. The church was tastefully decorated by friends of the bride, with pink and white flowers. The bride, who was given away by her father, looked charming in a frock of white georgette and a bridal veil of embroidered silk net with a coronet of orange blossom. She carried a bouquet of white roses, sweet peas, and maidenhair fern. The bridesmaid, Miss Nellie McLay, wore a frock of pale blue georgette trimmed with silver, and a head dress of pale blue with silver coronet. She carried a bouquet of pink roses, sweet peas, and maidenhair fern. The two little flower girls, Violet McLay, sister of the bride, and Alpha Duff, looked very sweet in frocks of white georgette trimmed with pink, and carried baskets of pink and white sweet peas. Mr William Caffell carried out the duties of best man. After the ceremony about 30 guests were entertained at the home of the bride's parents, where a sumptuous breakfast was provided. During the breakfast a large number of telegrams were read and the usual toasts honoured. Later the happy couple left by car for the south, the bride travelling in a frock of brown morocain with brown hat and shoes to match, and wearing a choker fur, the gift of the bridegroom. They were the recipients of many handsome presents. Source: Otago Daily Times (Dunedin), 26 February 1926, Page 12. PERSONAL. Prior to his departure from Waitahuna, Mr A. R. Bateman and family were tendered a farewell by the residents. Mr Paterson spoke of the loss to the school committee of Mr Bateman, who had been a very capable chairman, and extended to him their best wishes for the future. Mr H. B. McCorkindale and Mr J. M. Rose also spoke, voicing their appreciation of both Mrs and Mr Bateman's services in the district, and wishing them a long and happy time in Milton. Mr R. McCaw, in making the presentation of a rug to Mr and Mrs Bateman, said that they had both been good citizens and had willingly given their services wherever or whenever they were required. They would be greatly missed in this district, and he wished them every success in their new home. Mr Bateman briefly replied. Prior to his departure for Milton, Mr Bateman was the recipient of gifts from the local football club and the local sports club, and Mrs Bateman received a gift from the Women's Institute.
