William Bateman was the eldest son of Thomas Bateman, a Dissenting Manchester cotton merchant, and his wife Rebekah Clegg Bateman. He was apprenticed to and later joined his father in the cotton business, but by the early 1820s he retired to Middleton by Youlgrave in Derbyshire. A Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries, Bateman undertook several excavations of barrows and tumuli in the Peak district, publishing notes on these in the Archaeologia. Some of his dig notes were arranged and published by his son Thomas, who was also an amateur archaeologist, in C. R. Smith's Collectanea Antiqua . Bateman died on June 11, 1835.
