Hi Mick, :)
Unfortunately the 1841 census does not show relationships so unable to say if they were married. Have you found him in 1851 or perhaps if you could find his death cert it would give some information on that, couldn't find a marriage for him:
1841 census Whickham HO107/302/14 fol.19 p.4
William Battensby 70 Grocer
Mary " 55
both born in county
2 doors away in same place Whickham HO107/302/14 fol.18 p.3 & fol.19 p.4
John Battensby 40 Joiner
John " 13 Tailor App.
Margaret " 40
William " 15 Joiner App.
Ann " 8
Thomas " 6
Jane " 3
Margaret " 3 months
Hope this helps, Barbara

Many thanks Barbara,
The Whickham registers show that Mary Battensby was buried in Jan 1849.
I guess I will have to obtain a copy of the death cert to see if it provides anymore info.
all the best, regards,
Mick.
