James BATTEN Marriage - Downton

[barbet]

Could someone please check for me the marriage of James BATTEN to Sarah Bryant 17th April 1817?

I am really stuck establishing his father.
Thank you

Hi

Hi again Barbet

The 1851 census shows a James and Sarah Batten living in Morgans Vale Downton, each is 56.   He is given as a painter, plumber and glazier.

The place of birth for James is given as Hale, Hampshire.   I think this is probably correct.   The 1841 states born in county, but the enumerator has partially rubbed out the name James and I suspect he may have been confused by the son James who was born in Downton. 

Regards

Colin
