BATTEN family, 1881 Brixham
- Brixham
Looking for more information about Angelina Batten b 1851/2 who appears in the 1881 Census at 18 Burton Street in Brixham with her husband Thomas J. Batten b 1852/3 and their children, and visitors Charles Elliott (b 1857/8 in Devonport), his wife Augusta b. 1857/8, and their infant son Cecil. Both Angelina and Augusta were born in Slapton (near Kingsbridge in Devon). There are entries in FreeBMD for marriage registries for couples whose marriages seem to be consistent with these families, a Charles Edward G Elliott and Augusta Knowles reg in 2Q 1878, a Thomas Batten and Angelina Knowles reg in 3Q 1874. The Elliotts may be the family I am researching who appear in the 1910 US census residing in Holyoke (Hampden County) Massachusetts. I am trying to find the residence of the Elliotts in 1881, to confirm the relationship between Angelina and Augusta, and find their siblings and parents and other relatives. Does anyone recognize these families?
