Hi
I have an Ann Shuttle marrying Valentine Batten within my line, 1851 Newbury Berks. They had a son Alfred Valentine who was christened 27th October 1851 in Kintbury.
Valentine was born in East Woodhay Hants 1828, and in the 1851 census is described as a single 22 year old cattle dealer in Kintbury with his father and sister.
In 1855 Valentine is in Inkpen with his wife Mary christening Edwin. Valentine and Mary went on to have a further 6 confirmed children plus a possible 2 more before Valentine married Hannah Pounds in 1873 and had 4 more. (1 of the possibles was after the marriage to Hannah and both were found when checking the 1881 census for the known children and was found living with his mother Mary!)
According to the 1861 census for Inkpen Mary is aged 30 and was born in Vernham's Dean Hants.
Checking the IGI there were 13 Mary's christened in Vernham between 1829 - 1833 one of which was Mary Shuttle (Nov 1830), parents are listed as George and Sarah, in checking for their offspring they had a daughter Anne christened in 1826.
Does anyone have an Ann(e) Shuttle marrying Valentine Batten or possibly a Mary?
I have a feeling Valentine was a bit of a scoundrel but would love to know what he was up to!
