Lucy Young may have been born on 12 June 1838 at London.2,3,1 She was the daughter of Thomas Young and Sarah (?)1,2 Lucy Young may have been baptised at St. Leonard's on Sunday, 17 June 1838 at Shoreditch, London.3 She moved to New South Wales circa 1848.2 She moved to Tasmania circa 1850.2

She married John Charles Battle, son of John Battle and Martha Spencer Holliday, at St. George's Anglican Church on Monday, 3 March 1856 at Battery Point, Tasmania..4 She presumably lived with her spouse John at 103 Murray Street, in Hobart, in June 1857.5,6 Lucy Young moved to Melbourne circa 1875.2 She presumably lived with her spouse John at at Young Street in the Melbourne suburb of Fitzroy in March 1860.7

She may have attended the wedding of her sister in the marriage of Charles Oaten and Harriet Louisa Roberts a civil service at the Registry Office on Saturday, 25 February 1865 at the Melbourne suburb of Fitzroy. Harriet had to get prior permission from a JP due to her age. It's not clear why they chose a civil service over a religious one. Harriet and Charles went on to have six children together, three of whom lived into their adulthood.8 She presumably lived with her spouse John at at Hanover Street in the Melbourne suburb of Fitzroy in January 1867.9 Lucy lived in 1868 at at Fitzroy Street in the Melbourne suburb of Fitzroy.10

Her house was broken into, resulting in a conviction against the thieves:
BURGLARY and LARCENY. Joseph Newcombe, George Smith, alias Graham, and Kate Buchanan, were informed against for having burglariously broken into the dwelling-house of Mrs. Lucy Battle on the 22nd September, and therefrom stealing a work-box and purse.
The principal witness, Mrs. Battle, a widow, residing at Fitzroy, proved that on the night of the 2ist September her house was broken into, and the property stolen therefrom, which she fully identified. Detectives Hudson and Kilfedder proved the arrest of the prisoners in company in a house in Little Napier-street, Fitzroy, where the property was also found.
The jury found a verdict of "Not Guilty" as to the female prisoner; and "Guilty of feloniously receiving" as to the prisoners Newcombe and Smith.
Previous convictions were put in as against both prisoners found guilty, and they wore each sentenced to three years hard labour on the roads.

The theives had apparently broken into Lucy's bedroom by forcing the bedroom window.11,12

Lucy died on 23 July 1875 at at 10 Market Street in the Melbourne suburb of Fitzroy at age 37 of Psthisis, which she had been suffering for 6 months.2,1 Her body was interred at Melbourne General Cemetery on 24 July 1875 at the Melbourne suburb of Carlton. She is buried with her husband and grandson in grave MGC-COE-Comp-FF-No-1132.1
