BATTON'S ON THE 1911 SCOTTISH CENSUS:
I couldn't resist checking to see where they were in the 1911 Census released yesterday. Email me if you would like a copy of the census record.
My great great grandfather Andrew Batton was still living in Galston at 21 Ironwork Square with his wife Lilias - both were now 53 years old. Living with them are their sons John Batton age 16 and Robert Batton age 9.
John would move to New York with his wife Sarah in 1929.
Andrew, Lilias and Robert would move to Douglas, Lanarkshire. So we know that in 1911 they are still living in Galston.
My great grandfather George Batton (31 years old), son of Andrew and Lilias is now living in Coylton, South Ayrshire, at 3 Kerse Row. Living with him is his wife Maggie (34) and their children Lily (7), Isabella (6), Andrew (5), Lizzie (2) and nephew John Queen, aged 8 years.
In the house next door, living at number 4 Kerse Row, is George's younger brother Peter McGregor Batton (29 years) and his wife Barbara with their 2 children, Lizzie Batton (4) and Andrew Batton (2).
Another chapter in the book.
