1851 or 1861 OXFORD lookup please
« on: Friday 15 October 04 19:04 BST (UK) »
Please could someone look for WALTER BATTS who was 32 on the 1871 census when he was living with his wife EMILY(28) two children and his sister EMILY BATTS(30)

I know his father was JOHN BATTS - Walter was born in Stanton Harcourt and his sister Emily in Trusham - but I don't know anything about their mother or other siblings.

Hi.

In the 1861 census, Walter is a boarder in Dudley, Worcestershire

I checked an original image of the 1871 census and Emily Batts was actually born in EYNSHAM, a village 2.5 miles from Stanton Harcourt. In the 1861 census, Emily was working as a servant in Streatham, Surrey.

Hope this helps
