Looking for information on my Battersby / Batterby. My 3x-great-grandmother Catharine Batterby aka Catherine Battersby b.c.1800 Ireland. m. 1835 John Hassett listed in Clonmellon Parish marriage records as John Hassen (also Hassan in kids' baptismal records).
In Genesee Co, NY, USA was a William Battersby & family that lived near my Catherine Battersby Hassett and family. William was b.1798 County Westmeath according to his obituary. I'm wondering if they are related and could lead to further information.
John & Catherine Hassett had 4 children- Eleanor / Ellen b.1836, Mary b.c.1839/1841, John Jr. b.1843, and Catherine b.1847. The family emigrated to the US February of 1849 (ship Huma, landed Castle Garden, NY, USA 26March1849). There was also a Carty family on their ship, unknown if it was a Westmeath Carty family.
