At the same time, Ernest Redding remained at his Holland Grove home with his wife's uncle George Emerson. George had lived at Brixton Road with his brother Thomas Emerson and his wife Frances.

Note

5 Apr 1891

Ann Elizabeth (Elizabeth) Rumens; >
1891 Census: Charles Rumens and his youngest son Charles were living at 73 Vauxhall Walk, Lambeth, but Charles Snr's wife Elizabeth Ann and daughter Grace were not shown. However, an Elizabeth Rumens was found at Lambeth Palace Road in a different household (see Census 1891 tag for ID1092). Her age and place of birth fit, but her occupation is shown as Nurse.
It is possible, even if unlikely, that she is Elizabeth Batten/Rumens, but there is no other supporting evidence. If it is her, where were her husband and children? And why had she separated from her family?
But no evidence to suggest there was another Elizabeth Rumens can be found either. I found no record of her in the FMP 1881 or 1901 Censuses. Lambeth Palace Road does not appear to have existed in 1881, but the Dunton parents (son Frederick had apparently died) were still living at 105 in 1901. [updated 27 Apr 2018]

Joseph Batten b. c 1789, d. 2 Jul 1847

Mother

Elizabeth Bedwold b. ca 1790/1791, d. 26 Jun 1847

Note

     Elizabeth Batten was probably born in 1836 or 1837 before the civil registration of births commenced. No baptismal record has been found for her.
     In these records, it has been assumed that Elizabeth was the daughter of Joseph and Elizabeth Batten (nee Bedwold) because:
     (a) that appears to have been the view through later generations of the family and that's how it has been recorded by the family and by other researchers;
     (b) that would be the normal inference from the 1841 Census record, although relationships are not stated explicitly in that Census; and
     (c) Elizabeth's 1857 Marriage Certificate (to Charles Rumens) shows her father as Joseph Batten, Carpenter.
     (d) Elizabeth's 1906 Marriage Certificate (to Alfred Green) also shows her father as Joseph Batten, Carpenter.
     However, another (more likely) possibility is that she was the illegitimate daughter of Sarah Batten and an unknown father and was, at least initially, brought up as the child of her grandparents Joseph and Elizabeth Snr. Factors supporting this are:
     (A) In the 1841 Census, Sarah (age 25) is, unusually, listed after her younger brothers and she is followed immediately by Elizabeth (age 4), suggesting the possibility of a mother/daughter relationship.
     (B) Also in the 1841 Census, Elizabeth Snr was shown as age 50, so that she would have been about 47 when Elizabeth Jnr was born -- it is very unlikely, although perhaps not impossible, that she would have had a child at that age.
     (C) In 1844, Sarah married Robert Morley and, in the 1851 Census record for Robert and Sarah, there are also entries for Betsy Morley (age 13) and Maria Morley (age 2), shown as the daughters of Robert Morley. However, Betsy is the same age as Elizabeth Jnr and, of course, Betsy is a common diminutive of Elizabeth. It seems unlikely that Robert Morley was Betsy's father as he would have been about 18 when she was born and Robert and Sarah did not marry until Elizabeth/Betsy was aged 6 or 7. It seems more likely that Elizabeth Jnr was brought into the marriage by Sarah, was adopted by (or at least took the name of) Sarah's husband and was known by the nickname Betsy at that time. Although there are quite a few other Elizabeth/Ann Battens of about that age in the 1851 Census, none of them seems likely to be Elizabeth Jnr.
     (D) In most of the Birth Certificates for Elizabeth Jnr's children, the mother's maiden surname is given as Batten. However, the 1862 Birth Certificate for Frances Sarah shows the mother's maiden name as Morley, which again suggests that Elizabeth Jnr had used the surname Morley at some stage.
     A third (very unlikely) possibility was that Elizabeth Jnr was the daughter of an incestuous relationship between Joseph Batten and Joseph's daughter Sarah. In that case, Joseph would have been both the father and grandfather of Elizabeth Jnr. [16 Oct 2011]
     The death certificate for Sarah Morley shows Elizabeth Rumens as the Informant. This does not seem to provide an indication one way or the other -- Elizabeth was either Sarah's daughter or only sister, and could have been the informant in either capacity. [22 Nov 2013]
     To reflect what I believe was the probable situation, I have included in Relation tags for appropriate family members the assumed relationship according to these records and also the probable alternative to show what might have been the real situation. [3 May 2014]

It is possible that she is Elizabeth Batten/Rumens, but there is no other supporting evidence. If it is her, why was she not living with her family? And where was her daughter Grace?
But I found no evidence to suggest there was another Elizabeth Rumens. I found no record of her in the FMP 1881 or 1901 Censuses.

(Witness) Note

5 Apr 1891

Charles (Charlie) Rumens, Ann Elizabeth (Elizabeth) Rumens; >
1891 Census: Charles Rumens and his youngest son Charles were living at 73 Vauxhall Walk, Lambeth, but Charles Snr's wife Elizabeth Ann and daughter Grace were not shown. However, an Elizabeth Rumens was found at Lambeth Palace Road in a different household (see Census 1891 tag for ID1092). Her age and place of birth fit, but her occupation is shown as Nurse.
It is possible, even if unlikely, that she is Elizabeth Batten/Rumens, but there is no other supporting evidence. If it is her, where were her husband and children? And why had she separated from her family?
But no evidence to suggest there was another Elizabeth Rumens can be found either. I found no record of her in the FMP 1881 or 1901 Censuses. Lambeth Palace Road does not appear to have existed in 1881, but the Dunton parents (son Frederick had apparently died) were still living at 105 in 1901. [updated 27 Apr 2018]
