Can anyone help regarding John Coates and his wife Catherine McVey? John and Catherine were married in Drogheda,Ireland in 1877, had their first son, John and then moved to Wigan,Lancashire, England, a few years later. I'm struggling to find John's parents and Catherine's. I know Catherine had a brother called William McVey. John may have originated from County Meath. Both John and Catherine were born around 1851.

Anna's Notes

metzger926 — 2012-04-03 02:00:59Z

Hi Richard,
Somehow, I've lost my copy of your Aunt Anna's notes. If possible, could you email a copy to me? My email address: betsymetzger07@gmail.com.
Also, I discovered several other "trees" that have distant family ties. Margaret Collins married Nicholas Trainor of Ireland. He had a sister, Julia, who married William Flanagan and eventually then ended up in Marcus, Iowa. Kevin Flanagan has a family history on line and had all sorts of interesting information on my family! I even scored a picture of Julia. Hope you are well. Betsy

Moses and Sussanah Coates family that founded Coatesville,PA

atvinstructor1 — 2012-03-28 22:43:46Z

I am looking to see if anyone has any info on this family line they would like to share with me. I have it traced back as far as a Peter Coates I presume was born in Ireland around 1514. I have no further information, nor do I have much to go on as far as the families of the Coates wives of the 1st Peter, 2nd Peter, John Peter Coates as well as Moses' wife Sussanah.

Thanks Rob Harris

Coates Family History

lajoy35 — 2012-03-18 20:45:32Z

I am a Coates but I am not sure where my name comes from. The originator of this name is Willie Mae Coates but, she was born Willie Mae or May Robbs. She had a brother named Clover Robbs and one sister (i believe) named Rosie Lee Robbs. The only name that could be traced was Robbs. She was born in Dalton, georgia and her brother died in Chattanooga Tn. If you can shed some light, it would be appreciated.

chadandcarla1 — 2012-02-28 17:20:40Z

Hi there,
I realize this is an old thread but hoping someone will see this. I am researching my fathers ancestry to help my daughter with a school project. We are trying to figure out when the Coates's first came to America. My father's great grandfather was Justus A. Coates who was born in 1830 and married a Margaret J. (Bailey). They are both buried in Oak Hill Cemetary in Merrimac WI. I believe his father's name was Harvey? This is as far as I got. Would love some more info! Please email or reply to this thread. chadandcarla@frontier.com

Re: William b-1830 Ireland

recoates06 — 2012-02-27 17:09:26Z

Betsy: Thanks for the info! I think we exchange info last year. Good to hear from you again. If you need any info just ask ! Whem you asked me about Anna's notes it took me awhile to figure out what you were refering to, it turned out to be some notes left by my Aunt Anna Coates. Anna and my Grand Mother had been in contact were the Trainor family for along time. Margaret Trainor and my G-Great Grandmother were cousins both born in Scotland. Their mothers were sisters. Richard I believe you have my e-mail address..

Re: William b-1830 Ireland

metzger926 — 2012-02-26 21:41:40Z

I think Margaret Collins married Michael Nicholas Trainor and lived in Strongsville, OH. He was a night watchman in Berea. They had several children, one of which was Mary Alice Trainor who married Carl William Sheekley of Cleveland. They had three sons, Carl W. (Jr.), John R. and Gilbert. Gil died young. Carl W. Jr. married Alice M. Ryan and had four girls, Mary A., (deceased 2009), Ann M. (deceased 2001), Elizabeth J. and Christine E. I am Elizabeth - or better known as Betsy. Nice to meet you!

Re: Coates in Missouri

snrekh — 2012-02-18 02:09:55Z

There is a Thomas William Coats the father of Joseph Coats who had many sons two of which are John Willoughby Coates and Benjamin C Coates. thomas came from Tennessee and setled in Saline County MO where Joseph was born. The family later moved to LaFayette county. I believe Thomas and Joseph are burried in LaFayette County, MO. From there the family dispursed to different places. I am Benjamins great granddaughter from his daughter Mary then my father Marion. If this is what you are looking for I will try to help with what little I have. my e-mail is mary@melville.net

Re: John W Fannie M Coates

snrekh — 2012-02-18 01:58:40Z

I can't figure out how to see my tree without losing your message but I might have Fannies' birth date on my tree. I believe it came from a Bogar tree. My tree is Greely/Coates with John W and Fannie Bogar along with my great grandfather Benjamin C and most of his siblings, his mother and step mother and father Joseph. You can e-mail if it helps and I will do what I can. My e-mail is mary@melville.net

Re: Coats/Coates family in Missouri

snrekh — 2012-02-18 01:51:59Z

Benjamin is my ggrandfather and is burried in Greenwood cemetery in Spokane, WA along with Ida Belle. His daughter Mary Louella was my grandmother. She is buried in Grandview Cemetery in Grandview, WA along with her second husband Winfield Elmer Greely. They had two children Paul Winfield and Marion Edward who was my father. Father passed away at hte age of 47 in 1979 and is buried in the Pines Cemetery in Spokane WA. Benjamin and Belle had three daughter from there marriage. Zelma R who married Alfred Shining, Hazel Clara who first married Elias Eliasen, they divorced an she later married Fay Alexander Bishop, and Mildred Genevieve who married Reinhold Renner. It is important to mention that Benjamin was married before Belle and Mary was from that marriage. I believe I have found the marriage record also in LaFayette County MO June of 1888. I need to find a divorce record to confirm. If you see this and want to e-mail me my e-mail is mary@melville.net

Re: Coates of Suffolk & Manchester

allends184 — 2012-02-05 10:32:05Z

Hi Doug,I hope this finds you well.
My Coates tree begins for certain with a James Steele Coates b. 1821 Needham Market, Suffolk - his father was probably John Coates b.1795 Needham Market.
If there are any links with your tree (and David Coates who we have both had contact with on this site) it is probably with this John's brothers or cousins.
I don't seem to be able to find any more but will keep trying - it would be great to find relatives (albeit rather distant) in Australia!
If you can see any possible links please let me know.
Cheers,
Diane

Hello; If Norman Harris served in the military and you have an idea which branch you can go to the local VSO(veterans service officer)speak with them. He might be able to assist you in locating Norman Harris records since you have some information on him. Besure to give the APO number that you have, it might help.

Looking for this family mentioned in the 1937 obituary of my great-great grandmother Mary Jane (Mattie) Prisock, born in Belgium, lived in Omaha, NE and Atlanta, GA, but died in Columbia (Lykesland), Richland, SC, probably while living with her daughter, Mary (Crouch Walker Woods) Coats (Coates).

A widower, F.E. Coats is found in 1930, Columbia, Richland Co, SC. His children were Atmar, Ella M, Shannon, Zenota (or Zenoba), Vera (possibly m. a Yelton), and Leon.

Would like to contact any descendants for information on F. Eugene's wife, Mary.

Thanks

Re: Robert L. Coates

regraves — 2012-01-11 04:24:55Z

I need to make sure that I am responding to the same Robert L. Coates. He had a son Allen and was burried in Oakland in 1918. If this is the same on I am interested in what you might have on him. This Robert's headstone states that he was born in 1854. It could be the same one but I am not sure.

Coates of Walton-in-Gordano/Bristol

theflyingant — 2012-01-07 20:50:22Z

I've been researching the Coates family of Devon, who briefly settled in The Walton-in-Gordano/Walton Park area in the late 19th Century. William Coates appears in the 1881 census as a builder employing a number of men, together with his wife and children. Various family members also appear in Kelly's directories. I'm particularly intersted in any information regarding the property they lived in (The Grange, Walton Park), as I can find nothing. Any information about Walton-in-Gordano/Walton Park, 1880-1900 (the names seem to be used interchangeably) would also be of great interest. Also of course anyone with links to Coates in Somerset.

Hi Doug,
I have only just read your post to me!! Sorry! I have had a busy year and have just decided to try and get back into my family history. My Dad was a Douglas Coates (sadly no longer with us) but it was his family that originated in Suffolk. I need to nip out now but will reply to you with more details later.

Looking for father of Peter Stuart Ollett Coates (or Cotes)

keycaroline3 — 2011-10-10 17:07:31Z

Maud Ann Catharine Ollett had a child with someone with the last name Coates (or Cotes) in December 1915. Apparently the father died in WWI shortly after, but we don't know his first name. They were not married. The child's birth certificate says Peter Stuart Ollett, but many travel documents from when he was a kid say Peter Stuart Coates, or Peter Stuart Cotes. Does Maud Ann Catharine Ollett ring a bell for anyone on the Coates side? The child is my late grandfather, and we would like to know our Coates relatives!

Hello,

I am completely stuck. I am looking for the marriage of a Henry Harold Coates, born around 1930 I think in Louisiana and died around 1976 in the same state. He married Billye Lorraine Hopkins, I also believe of Louisiana (1930-1991/2). I can't seemed to find any record of this and I know for a fact that they were married. The only other info I have is that she is the daughter of Thomas L. and Geneva Bonner Hopkins and they (Billye and her parents) are buried at Chickasaw Cemetery, Summerville, La Salle Parish, Louisiana, USA. Billye was also married a second time to an Hebert (I'm not sure of his first name).

If you have any info concerning this line, I would greatly appreciate it. My email is lh1311@txstate.edu
