Honor Code SignatorySigned 10 Dec 2015 | 866 contributions | 28 thank-yous | 403 connections
The biography for Deborah Battye is empty. What can you add?
Roots in South Wales: Llanelli and Swansea, Pembrokeshire, Glamorgan and Monmouthshire. One line (Battye) originated in the USA and I would love to find out who my great grandfather James Quentin Battye, seaman and trades union secretary, REALLY was! 2020 update: DNA proof that great grandfather James Q Battye was actually born James E Bettey, DeWitt, Clinton County, Iowa. Son of John Fassett Bettey and Phebe Russell Whittemore. Will update tree in due course.
2020 update! Proof at last - my hunch was correct. DNA proof that James Quentin Battye was indeed James E Bettey. A whole new lineage has opened!
