Biography
professional photographer and storekeeper, son of William Batchelor and Elizabeth, née Miller, was born on 3 September 1830 in Portsmouth, Hampshire. He came to Adelaide with his wife, Elizabeth, née Franks, aboard the Lord of the Isles in 1854. They settled at Kooringa, the company town for the Burra Burra mine in South Australia, and Batchelor became a shopkeeper at 'The Burra’. For at least two years – 1867 and 1868 – Batchelor also worked as a photographer. He died at Burra on 25 August 1889, survived by his wife and several children. A lithograph of a major train derailment at Peake’s Crossing south of Burra on 9 February 1876, published in the March issue of the Illustrated Adelaide News , was said to be after a Batchelor 'sketch’ (a term then occasionally used to include a photograph).
