Hello and welcome to the Forum. Can I just say, Burnt Tree is in Tipton, Staffordshire, in the registration district of Dudley, not Stourbridge. John and his wife Elizabeth were both born in Stourbridge.

Hope we can help knock down your brick wall.

I can't see a marriage for them.

there are these in 1871 in Amblecote Rd Kingswinford

BATCHELOR, John Head M 46 1825 Worcestershire
BATCHELOR, Martha Wife F 47 1824 Staffordshire

BATCHELOR, Ellen Daughter F 13 1858 Staffordshire
BATCHELOR, Annie Daughter F 9 1862 Staffordshire
BATCHELOR, Richard Son M 6 1865 Staffordshire

1861 Are these the same family in 1861??? Amblecote Bank Kingswinford

BATCHELAR, John Head Married M 36 1825 Forgeman & Iron Works Old Swinford Worcestershire
BATCHELAR, Maria Wife Married F 35 1826 Kingswinford Staffordshire Image looks like Martha

BATCHELAR, John Son M 9 1852 Scholar Kingswinford Staffordshire

Think we could do with the info from that birth cert, or info from any certs you have, to help us get the right people.

I can't see them in any other census
