Title: Gatiss/ Gatis/ Gatess/ Gates
Post by: Kitty67 on Monday 05 April 10 21:19 BST (UK)
Can anyone help with my paternal branch of this family?  I have a John Gatiss b.c. 1816 Lamesley/ Ravensworth but no birth record.  His two marriage certs give TWO father's names - James and Joseph - of which there is no sign in the area.  All of the evidence I have suggests this is the same John but the recording of the father's name may have been an error?

I am aware of other branches but can't connect mine to them.

I have done quite a lot of research but this remains a real problem.

All ideas & advice gratefully received.
