Hello, Josie,
I have been rooting around to see if I could find anything more about John Batchelor, 1848, Holloway.
Did you know he married Esther Matilda Emons 19th Mar, 1870
Civil Reg entry June ¼ 1870 Bethnal Green 1c 505.
If you wish to obtain this certificate it will show you his father's name & is available for purchase online at >>
