RESEARCH NOTES
From other researchers:
- no further descendants listed
- Married Pheobe Ann Edwards and had 5 sons
- A snippet from an article on the Littleham and Landcross community website. “William RE: Caroline Moyse, (formerly Batten, nee Moyse) Her eldest son William - Born 9.2.1874. - registered the death. William came from Launceston in Cornwall to make the registration”

Is this the right person? Birth place doesn’t match, and who was Elizabeth?
