I thought that i had sent you a reply re Tate but i do not see it here which is good because it was awfully stupid and i wanted to apologize Since i am getting a second chance , here is what i know, as per family story Mary SNOWDON of South Shields, Newcastle , dau. of John SNOWDON, shipwright and Mary Ann BIDDLESTONE or BITTLESON had a dau Mary b c1816 who married George Alexander TATE Her sister Ann married Samuel Farrar of Leeds, a draper Tjhey had no Children and he married 2 Alice? Ann was known as "Aunt Tate and considered a bit of a gorgon. 2Rootschatters "Manchester Rambler" and' DS" helped me sort the farrars a bit . All the Web, a search engine , using Samuel Farrar led me to the Stead family and Farrars to 1970 if it helps...
