Yoiur message is very confusing. Have you found him in 1871 or not? If not, which 'page' have you found him on. Where is he likely to be living/where was he born and when? Sam x

Joseph Batty abt 1821 Kendal, Westmorland, England Brother Glossop Derbyshire View Record Sarah Jane Batty abt 1860 Glossop, Derbyshire, England Daughter Glossop Derbyshire View Record Emma Hurst abt 1860 Hadfield, Derbyshire, England Niece Glossop Derbyshire View Record James Hurst abt 1829 Burnley, Yorkshire, England Brother-in-law Glossop Derbyshire View Record Mary Jane Hurst abt 1858 Hadfield, Derbyshire, England Niece Glossop Derbyshire 69 Station Road looking Image James is at the top perhaps they both own the house then it goes the 2 nieces then joseph then daughter after that it says married on both perhaps the wives work nights why can't they write in the same order as image? i think who ever wrote image got confused should have put joseph down as B I L jeanette
