It's looking likely that your Battersby family were a close knit one. Do I also see that Frank and his brother James marry sisters???

In 1891 Fred Battersby is living with his "in laws". He has his sister living with him, and this is her marriage;

Well spotted MarieCeleste!
So - do we think there are 2 Frank Stewart Battersby's or just one? I am starting to wonder if Frank was child to John but given to Charles and Marie as they had lost so many children?
Probably fantasising but it wouldn't be the first time this has happened.
Jan

This is the only Battersby I can find registered in Devon.

What about Frederick and John Frederick?

Name: Charles Alfred Battersby
Date of Registration: Jan-Feb-Mar 1871
Registration district: East Stonehouse
Inferred County: Devon
Volume: 5b
Page: 327 (click to see others on page)

Following Jan's comment above, Frank Stewart Battersby's service records state he was discharged 1915 for having made a mis-statement about his age.

Address was 81 Flood Street, Chelsea.

Another query! Can anybody see a birth record for any other Frank Stewart Battersby because I can't. So where is the 1896 registration?
I am starting to cook up a story of wife-swapping and/or bigamy in my head, somebody stop me!!

ADDED Actually, I suspect Frank was born 1900 and fabricated his birth year to join up!

Jan

All the baptisms, except Frank and James, are covered on the 1911 that brummiejan has posted above. Living with parents Frederick and Kate.

Frederick Battersby married Kate Hake 18 94 Paddington

On the 1871 census, Kate is called Susan.

Frederick and Kate claim (on the 1911 census) to have been married and having had 7 children, all of whom are strill alive.

Looks like Frederick Battersby was married to a Mary Davies before he married Kate.

Sorry brummiejan, I see you've already posted this.

I am chasing my tail, but I wondered if this is the marriage of Charles and Marie from the 1911 census above. This woman has the same name as the one possibly marrying John Frederick in 1880 (yes, I know her name should be Battersby if the same person!). Charles' middle name is def. Alfred (on 1896 Frank's military record).
