That’s really helpful thank you very much for that! Maybe Dorothy never married if she’s still listed as Bates?
In regards to Albert I found this newspaper cutting amongst all the photos and letters I inherited.

That’s great thank you very much for your help! I don’t live too far so hopefully when all this is over I’ll be able to go pay a visit and see where they were from!

Re the girls other names

Alice Eliza March qtr 1894 - never married - died 1980 birthdate 12.1.1894
Emma Jane Dec qtr 1897 - married Harry A Furminger 1927 - died 1966
Elsie Lilian June qtr 1905 - married Charles H Bourne 1930
Thomas was plain Thomas - March qtr 1908 which also means he could have been born Dec 1907.  Married Marjorie L Jones 1935 Bucks. He died 1980 birthdate 31.12.1907


They also had a daughter Lily b Dec qtr 1890 died March qtr 1891

Plus a daughter Annie b Sept qtr 1892 but no death and not on 1901 entry

That’s really helpful thank you so much!
I think I have a photo of Alice, which is quite exciting! Well I have hundreds of photos but I don’t know who they are so
I’m slowly piecing tiny clues together. Knowing the siblings and ages adds more pieces to the puzzle! Thank you once again!

Elsie Lilian Bourne b 18.3.05 died 1994 Bucks

Arthur J Bates married Florence K Wright 1930

Look up Arthur on the 1939 register - other family members on same page 

[dsjturner]

I’ve just looked it up, thanks for that!
I’m a bit confused though as I assumed Elsie was their daughter but she has a different surname. Hmm will have to do some digging on that one! I’ve looked up where they lived and it looks idyllic, little village opposite a pub!

[dsjturner]

Oh no scrap that I’ve confused myself! Bourne is her married name as you found out!

[CaroleW]

I can't find anything on Annie b 1892.  GRO shows mmn Cox which is correct but she is not on the 1901 nor is she elsewhere

No death 1892 - 1901

No obvious marriage - so
