Title: Batty family
Post by: Jacamar on Sunday 30 March 08 21:00 BST (UK)

Hi
Does anyone have a James Batty 1870 Hyde Cheshire in their family? I am interested in his wife, born Sarah Ann McNicholas 1873 in Pennsylvania. She was born when her mother visited there... the family were originally based in Bilston.

Any info greatly appreciated

Ooops sorry! I feel a bit stupid now. I know of the McNicholas etc clan because that is the family I am researching.  ::) Let me explain properly.

I am trying to obtain information on  Sarah Ann and her mother Bridget and also anything about the McNicholas family. I have traced Bridget's family back (the Kilcoynes) to Ireland but nothing about Michael. What I am trying to do is contact someone who has the Batty family in their tree. Sarah married James Batty in Hyde in 1894 and I just found last night that Michael McNicholas died in Ashton under Lyne in 1901.

I was basically wondering if the Batty family had more info.

So sorry again for the confusion and thanks for teh prompt reply silvery
