This is just an update that the trying-to-find crowd can ignore!

Over the last year Cindy and I had a lot of correspondence about this bunch.

(I'd first first contacted a couple of Battens here because at the time I thought that my grx3 grmother was a Batten. Turned out it was the brother of my grx3 grfather Bond who married the Batten!)

She worked her way through birth certificates, and I helped her sort through the censuses, and we found her Battens and Breedons a couple of generations back, and also a cousin through GR here. All solved!
