I'm astonished that you can search the parish registers from 1690 to 1837 without knowing this sort of stuff.   Looks like a trip to the West Yorkshire Archive Service in Wakefield is your next step.

You may be able to by the cd of the Parish records for Batley from this place,

if not then I would try the Batley family history society they will have them for sure.

Hope this helps.
