Hi both
An update:
I now have 2 wills, for both the Leonard Battles, 1830 (son) and 1832(father).
They both name some family, but no mention of Mitten or Simon.
I have also delved into the records and constructed what I think is a partial family tree, covering all the Battles who were Brickmakers.
Leonard Snr married in Cambridge, lived in St.Neots, then Ramsey and died in Godmanchester. The various brickmakers mostly moved to Blunham. So we have 3 counties.

But there is no documented link between the 2 Leonards, Simon Mitten Battle (son of Leonard Snr) and Mitten & Simon born around 1800. I can guess, but that's all it would be.
Can you advise me what is best to do now?

Hi Trish
Thanks for all your ideas; I have spent the day searching, but there are not many facts, just assumptions.
I have found more brickmakers; there is also a William b. abt 1799,  in St.Ives in 1851.
And another William b.1820, in Blunham, from a different branch.
I need to keep looking, and try to prove that Mitten is Simon's son; it looks likely but no records to prove it.....
Nearly midnight in UK, I'm off to bed now, more to do in the morning.

Thank you, I had seen details of Leonard, but haven't yet found anything to make a positive link.
Maybe the Will is the answer, I will chase it up....
