Hello to you.
I am sure I am a long lost relative of yours.
My Great Great Grand father was Charles Coates. One of his sisters was Hannah Coates married to Joseph Greenman living in St James, Wiltshire in 1845. Hannah was born in 1822 and Christened on 7th April 1822. She died 1886. They had 9 children. Her father, my GG Grandfather was married to Mary ? and they lived in Kington St Michael. He was an Agricultural Labourer.
Hannah was one of 7 children. Her brothers and sisters where named. George, Ann, Elizabeth, Worthy, Alfred and of course Charles, my GG Great Grandfather.
I have managed to trace the family tree back to c 1787 and visited Kington St Michael. Mywife and I are due to make a return visit in the near future.
I would be more than pleased to share the information I have with you and it would be very interesting if all this information is as I think it is.
I currently live in Cardiff, only an hour fron KSM.
Looking forward to a reply.
Kind regards.
P C Coates
