The second, third and fourth entries above are coded on GD website to Robert Batty DNB 1762/3-1849 physician but there is reason to think these five entries could all have referred to a different Batty. The last entry specified P Street, and John Batty was in the rate books for 12 Primrose Street by 1805. In 1804 the house was recorded as empty and in 1803 the tenant was William Waddams, whose will PCC was proved 9.6.1804 (and see Morning Post 20.9.1804). John Batty of Primrose St straw and chip hat manufacturer went bankrupt in 1808 (Examiner 20.3.1808). In Holdens 1805 M Batty had a straw hat warehouse 68 Leadenhall St and chip and straw hat manufacture at 2 Minories. The LS in the second entry above may have meant Leadenhall St, (at that time Dr Robert Batty was living at 27 Charlotte St). A John Batty age 42 from the workhouse was buried 23.11.1808 at St George in the East and another John Batty age 49 of St George Southwark was buried 8.5.1808 at Shoreditch, if he was either of those his bankruptcy may have killed him. A John Battye auctioneer of Wilson St Moorfields went bankrupt in 1802, and there was also a J Battie pocketbookmaker at 6 York St Covent Gdn (Holdens 1802)
