Hi, I'm after any info on Richard Harvey Batten, born in Devon in 1827?
From info i have he migrated to Australia in December 1853 on the Anglesey. I was hoping he would be in the 1841 and 1851 censuses?
He didnt marry until he moved to Australia.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Kristie

I run a database for Broad Clyst so have your Richard Batten entered into it.

Have read all the help you have been sent and it agrees with what I have also.

Charlotte Ridler mother of Richard did marry William Bright and left him to come to Aus .. she died in 1857 in Victoria AUS

Her parents were William Ridler and Ann Skinner and she was baptised 14 Jan 1792 in Clyst Honiton DEV

William and Ann married 2 May 1782 in Broad Clyst
William was buried 16 Aug 1824 in Broad Clyst
William was baptised 23 Feb 1755 @ Broad Clyst the son of
William Ridler and Ann Channon

Ann was buried 26 Oct 1799 in Broad Clyst having died at Exminster
Her parents were Robert Skinner and Frances Lackington

William and Ann had 10 children between 1782 and 1799

William married again to Mary Harris 17 Dec 1801 at Exminster

Charlotte sister to Richard Batten who arrived on the ship with her brother and mother
Charlotte married Caesar Clement 1860 in Victoria and died @ Whittlesea VIC
in 1916
She had 4 children that I found
Harriet Ridler Clement 1861-1949
Charlotte Clement 1862-1944
Edwin Clement 1863-1956
Samuel Snell Clement 1866-1906

Caesar Clement was baptised 2 Feb 1813 Zeal Monachorum DEV
and died 1891 Whittlesea VIC

I don't at any time have Harvey as a middle name for Richard and cannot see any Harvey connection to the family .. though of course there may have been.

Hope this is of help

He married Sarah Squire 12 Dec 1813 Broad Clyst

Dear Kristie,

Last week I began researching this line of Battens for a friend whose surname is Batten and he is descended from Richard Batten born 1828. I too had came to a stop trying to find out more about this Richard Batten until I found this website by accident. I have tried to sort all the information generously provided by the people on this forum and the following is the way I think the people were related. The changes in the spelling of the name made it interesting. It would appear it was usually BATTING until about 1700 and then BATTIN until about 1730. Since about 1730 it has mostly been BATTEN. I have a lot more information on this family. If you are interested please let me know.

Kind Regards,
Geoff.
