FreeBMD is a separate site
www.freebmd.org.uk and is free to search for BMD,s from 1837. they are transcribing records now in the 1930, s .
FreeBMD is an invaluable site and should be your first port of call to look up BMD,s

If you google Samuel John Batchelder 1875 Loddon Norfolk ,I think he is John Roberts brother,it goes to a site about Norfolk pubs i.e The Angel.
It says samuel was landlord there and there is a picture of his daughter Violet Martha born 1907 married to James Saville behind the bar in 1952-4
