Title: Coates Family originally from Enniscorthy, Wexford, Ireland
Post by: canberragirl on Monday 03 December 12 13:37 GMT (UK)
Looking for Coates Family descendants. The Coates came originally from Enniscorthy, Co Wexford Ireland and prior to that from Cork, Ireland. James Julian Coates, Isaac Julian Coates and Edward Coates.  Isaac Coates ended up in Cooktown, Qld. and died there age 60. He was a grazier on a property at McIvor River. James Julian Coates moved around quite a bit, known to have children with wife Emily Josephine Booth, a son Julian James Coates born in Victoria and a daughter Clara G Coates born near Hill End NSW. Don't have any information on Edward Coates at all.
ARE YOU THEIR DESCENDANTS?
Regards Canberragirl

Welcome to Roots chat Starkeygirl.

Here is a newspaper article that says Isaac had no relatives in Australia. Only goes to show you can't believe all you read. That is if you are in Australia, of course, and Charles didn't die before his father.
