Just wanted to let you all know that I have managed to find yet another connection with the Batton family.
I had contacted Kerry Noonan back in November and only got a response today, much to both our delight.
Kerry's grandmother was Florence Batton who was the daughter of John Batton & Sarah McCandlish. John and Sarah emigrated to New York in 1929.
John was the younger brother of my great grandfather George Batton (born 1879) and also the next oldest brother of Robert Batton (Doreen's father).
So Kerry's Dad and Doreen are first cousins.......
Once I get more information I will post on the blog.
Great start to 2012.
