BATES Family

[dsjturner]

Hi!

I was just wondering whether anyone was researching the Bates family from the Forty Green/Penn area of Bucks?
I am particualrly interested if anyone has any connection to Joseph William Bates (1890) Charles Bates (1892) Alice Bates (1894) Albert Edward Bates (1895) and Emma Bates (1898) all born in Forty Green/Penn to Sarah and Joseph Bates.
I have recently identified some photos of them and would love to share them if anyone thinks they have a connection.

Hi Daniel

Maybe distantly connected to your Bates.   Maria Jane Bates was my G Grandmother.  She was born 1846 at Forty Green, daughter of Joseph (b1799 Penn) and Betsy Street.  Joseph was the son of William Bates (b 1763 Penn) and Ann Perfect (b1769 Penn).  So not directly linked but maybe distant cousins?

Hi Christine!
Thanks you for your reply! I've had a look at my tree and I think there is a distant relation! William Bates and Ann Perfect are my 5 x Grandparents!! My 4 x Grandfather was James Bates who was the brother of your Joseph Bates.
I'm only a beginner so wouldn't even like to guess what kind of relation it is!!

Hi Daniel

I wouldn't know either.  Some sort of cousin maybe?  However many times removed ? 

Happy researching

Shall I join in?
My husband's 4x grandfather is also James Bates. According to FTM kinship report that makes Daniel my hubby's 5th & 6th cousin.

I have BATESes in Bucks, but much further north.

I have a Newman BATES (who doesn't seem to have a connection to the crowd of them in Drayton Parslow) who was part of the family in Wingrave.

I suspect he may have spent a chunk of time in London - but that might be another one!

He and his family ended up in Northall, with hatch/match/dispatch events in nearby Edlesborough.

Hi, My grandfather was John Philip Bates (Jack) and his father was William. I think there were Josephs in the family too. William worked on the railway. A cousin has photographic evidence that he drove the royal train (King Edward, I presume). He was very tall and played a silver trombone in a local band. His wife was Sarah. MY grandfather had a twin, Dora who died quite young. Also in the family were  Mabel, Nellie, Ethel, Basil and Gertrude. Sarah died in an old people's home in Winslow.
Might we be related?
