I know my father had a cousin named Dorothy. My father was Robert Battersby, married to Phoebe Davies. His father was Robert Battersby, married to Elizabeth Kaeding. His father (my g-grandfather) was James Battersby, married to Edith Shaylor in England in 1879. I am trying to link up some of my grandfather's brothers, and I think John may have been one of them. Do any of these names ring a bell for you?
