Further to the Batts from Houghton, I am also looking for any info on any Batts from Barton Stacey. I havefound one George Batt was transported to Tasmania in 1838 for stealing sheep. He got a life sentence, he left a wife and family of 8 children. I believe after he served 14 years he got a ticket of leave and was a free man, and married and had another family in Tasmania. If anyone has any info on the English family I would like to hear from them

Twiggy - I currently live in the Village and have an interest in genealogy. What info do you have on the Batts left behind - I can see four Batt families in the 1851 census one without a male as head wife is Ann - is that your family? If so I'll have a look at what I can find. The second family looks to be of the same generation as Ann so may be a brother Thomas with wife Ann. the other two are headed by William Batt's.
