Grace was born on 14th December 1800, probably in Uley, Gloucestershire, England.
There is a Gloucestershire non-conformist baptism record for a Grace Batchelor, daughter of Jeremiah and Ann, which gives a birth date of 14th December 1800 and a baptism date of 22nd March 1801.
[1]
Another record, England Births and Christenings, 1538-1975 gives the baptism place as Union Chapel Independent, Uley, Gloucestershire, England, United Kingdom.

Jeremiah Batchelor married Hannah Hayns on 26th July 1792 in Bradford on Avon, Wiltshire.
[5]
He had three children with wife, Hannah - George (born on 13 Sep 1793) and William (born on 15 Dec 1795), both christened on 16 Jul 1802 in Uley, Gloucestershire and Simeon, born on 1 Jan 1803 and christened on 10 Apr 1803 in Uley. This suggests that Grace's mother, Ann was also Hannah, as she was born between William and Simeon.
[6][7][8]
A son of Jeremiah and Hannah, Isaac Batchelor was buried on 23 Oct 1802 in Uley.

The 1851 Census has Jerah. Batchelor (77, head, widower, pauper, fancy weaver in silk, born in Bradford, Wiltshire) living at Woolley Street, Bradford on Avon, Wiltshire.
[16]
He died age 78 years and his death was registered in 1852 Q1 in Bradford on Avon.

There is a baptism source which gives a date of 23rd October but the year is missing. It is probably 1773, based on his death age.
