Hi Maureen,
Bentham is just south of Burton, and is a neighbouring parish just south over the fells/moors,
I notice that the parents of John BATTY; Born 10 Oct 1812; Bapt 22 Nov 1812 in Bentham are described as of Bentham in the register. ?
It would be worth investigating whether Bentham counts as Lonsdale. ?I know it is on the River Wenning which joins the Lune near Hornby, but isn¡¯t usually referred to as Lonsdale
It¡¯s aways difficult when the same names pop up in the same location & and the two parishes do share quite a long boundary.
Best regards
Debbie

Hi Debbie,
Thanks,
I have also found?John BATTY; Born 10 Oct 1812; Bapt 22 Nov 1812 in Bentham, Yorkshire to
William and Elizabeth. I think Bentham is near Burton ?
Thats the trouble there are so many with same name. I once had two people living in the same
street in London with same name and same trade !!!

Hi Maureen
I found John in the following censuses with the following places of birth
1861 Burton in Lonsdale
1871 Lonsdale
1881 Burton
The entry that Jane found
"John Batty, son of William and Sarah baptised November 7 at Thornton in Lonsdale 1813"
gives an abode of Burton, which will be Burton in Lonsdale in the parish of?Thornton in Lonsdale
I think this is probably the John you¡¯re looking for.
Best regards

Thanks Jane,
I have found a John Batty b.10 Oct. 1812 to William Batty and Elizabeth in Bentham.
So like I find when you are doing genealogy so many people with the same name.
Thanks,
Maureen

Hi Maureen
There's a Burton in Lonsdale and a Thornton in Lonsdale about two and a half miles apart.
I couldn't see John in the census but found this:?
John Batty, son of William and Sarah baptised November 7 at Thornton in Lonsdale 1813
Nothing for searching John Batty to the exact place of Burton in Lonsdale.?
Nothing for Esther in Hatton nor a marriage to John Batty - do you have any more information on them which might help?
best wishes
Jane?

Hi Listers,
I am looking for the birth of John BATTY b. 1814.In the 1861 census it says he was born in Lonsdale in Yorkshire. His wife Esther nee ELLIOTT b 1821 in Hatton Cheshire.
I would like her birth details as well.
Thanks,
Maureen in Oz.
