Hello Chris No - I wasn't, so thank you very much for that. I do know that SHC have some of his work and I believe the Institute in Guildford have some too. My problem is I've never found his baptism which should be about 1822 in Wonersh according to censuses. The closest match in the Wonersh registers is an Alfred Batchelor baptised Sep 1822 son of Frederick Batchelor and wife Ann (nee Chitty). I suspect Allen and Alfred are one and the same person but haven't proved it sufficiently. I'll have to look at the book - it will be interesting anyway but a real bonus if I ever do make the connection properly. Thank you again.
