Title: Need some help in finding Oldcoates
Post by: North Country Boy on Friday 05 August 05 15:45 BST (UK)

Hello,

I need some help in finding where Oldcoates is in Nottinghamshire. Oldcoates is the birth place of my grandmother but I'm having a litle trouble locating it.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi,

I don't know the area at all, but according to Genuki and to this website
http://www.aedificium.org/Maps/LocalMaps.html

it is located in Harworth Parish.

This is what Genuki says about it:

... and it's only about a mile west of where I'm sitting right at this moment. Quite small, very rural. History goes back to the twelfth century.

If you need any current photos, let me know and then next time I go into Oldcotes (modern spelling) I'll see what I can do.
