Batty lookup 1841

[Gee]

I am looking to make a connection with Jonathan Batty in the census of 1841. He was born 1804 in Killamarsh. He was a farmer.
He is registered as a widow in the 1851 census, so I am hoping to find his wife Sarah is around in 1841.

Sarah's maiden name was Leah, but I am almost sure that they were married with children by 1841.
Were there any children with Jonathan?

I'm sorry it should said couldn't find above for Jonathan.

I listed all the people called Batty I could find.

I have the whole of Derbyshire 1841 census on CD.  As you probably know it is not indexed.  If you find any more info on somewhere else your family might be, I'll be happy to look.

Hi Sue
That certainly does look like the entry that I am looking for. All the names and ages tally with the ones in the 1851 census and beyond. I have since found Sarah died in 1845 possibly in child birth. Also between the two census' of '41 and '51 Jonathan as gone from a coalminer to a farmer of 28 acres. 

Thank you very much to Sue and Sue for your time.   

I have two family group records with the child being Jonathan Batty. One christened 13 Oct 1803 Killamarsh, Father: William, Mother: Sarah  And the other christened 23 Oct 1803 Killamarsh Father: John, Mother: Sarah. One is the Jonathan we have in the 1841 census. Is there a way of pinpointing which one?

I am plaqued by Jonathan Battys. I have another in my tree (different family) married to a Mary Ann also in Killamarsh. At least I know them to be there in 1822 when their daughter Zillah was born. Unfortunately I have no other dates for this particular Jonathan. 

Thanks again for your help and time.

I see your predicament regarding which Jonathan Batty is yours, but I can't see how you can find out.  If his marriage had been after the introdction of civil registration you would have been able to find out his fathers name from the wedding certificate, unfortunately for you - this is not the case.  Oh well, best of luck with it anyway.
