No mention at all is made of Mary Ann - what would otherwise, presumably, have been her deceased husband's share of any residue of the estate went instead to her eldest daughter, Alice Thorne, whose husband, Frederick, was one of the Trustees. Still no clues on the mysterious Mr Bateman. What muddies the waters somewhat is the fact that Mary Ann's father's mother was born with the surname Bateman. Is it possible that she merely adopted a surname that was already in the family?

	Anything's possible, Benjamin! IF Mr Bateman existed, and IF Mary Ann was actually widowed by 1901, he doesn't seem to have died in the Pontypridd area. If in Hanham, there's this possibility: Deaths Sep 1899 (>99%) Bateman Frank 48 Keynsham 5c 379 However, even if he did exist, she doesn't appear to have married him.
	Researching: Old genealogists never die.....they just lose their census.
