My grandmother was a Greatbatch, its a fairly common, if regional, name where i'm from, the following link shows the spread over time:

See how the extended family moves from stoke-on-trent to ... regions mostly adjoining stoke-on-trent :D

Ahhh! Adventurous cousin Bob! We wondered where he got to :P

Weston is a little more boring later on in that its a generic english location name. You can see this in the way its stops at the celtic fringe in the 1881 map. Oddly we don't seem to have mixed with the east of england/the north much. Must have been mercians way back or somesuch :P
