John BATEMAN was born about 1820 in Canterbury, son of George and Sarah BATEMAN. John's father George was a Builder. I'm assuming John was apprenticed to a Baker, as he was working as a Baker in his early 20's, while he was still at home in Broad Street, St. Mary Northgate with his family in 1840. His family: George BATEMAN, Builder, mom Sarah, sisters Mary, Charlotte, Susannah and his brother Richard who was a Carpenter and his other brother ... who was a Baker, his married sister Sarah CHILD is with them with her daughter Sarah Child who is 18 months old.
From the poll books 1830 there is an Edward BATEMAN listed, Broad Street, Canterbury, Carpenter, George BATEMAN, Broad Street, Canterbury, Carpenter, as well as John BATEMEN, Castle Row, Canterbury, Carpenter
John BATEMAN married Ms. Charlotte WRIGHT, in Blean in 1845. By the early 1850's the couple had three children, Emma Maria, John Montague and Selina Kate, and the family is living on Palace Street and John is working as a Baker.
*John's father died in 1850 (will of George BATEMAN, Carpenter of Canterbury, St. Mary Northgate) May 7, 1850. Parts of the will note:
George BATEMAN of Broad Street in the parish of Saint Mary Northgate in the city of Canterbury and county of the same city Carpenter...

** granddaughter Sarah A. Child is staying with Sarah BATEMAN in 1851, born Chelsea, Middlesex
Sometime between 1850 and 1860, John changed professions and became a Photographer. This could be due to John's connection with Jabez Hughes. John's wife Charlotte, had a sister named Esther who married Cornelius Jabez Hughes in 1843, and Cornelius became a photograher around 1846. In 1862 Jabez was noted as a photographer to Queen Victoria.
The couple's daughter Fanny Ada BATEMAN was born February 3th, 1853, at 13 Killermont Street, in Glasgow, Scotland, and at this time Jabez Hughes was living and working as a photographer in Glasgow at 67 Buchanan Street, which was about 1/3 of a mile from where John and Charlotte's daughter Fanny Ada BATEMAN was born.
There was a birth of a John Edward BATEMAN in Canterbury in 1855.
In the early 1860's John and his wife Charlotte are living at 51 St. George's street with their children John, Selina Kate, Charlotte, Fanny, Flora A., and Hinton Ernest Bateman. Daughter Charlotte was born in Canterbury in 1852 and we know Fanny Ada BATEMAN was born in Glasgow, Scotland in 1853, so they could have been there for a year or so, but they were back in Canterbury when their next child Flora was born in 1856.
