Thanks again garson. So appreciated

Ok update. I must be doing something wrong because all I can find is birth records for all the bates related the my grand dad (deceased) Sidney Bates. I can't find any marriages or births of their own children.
I'm m really sorry but can someone point me in the right direction.
Thanks everyone
Natasha

Hi Natasha, my name is Simon Bates and my grandfather is Dennis Bates (born 1925, deceased 1999) who had a brother Sidney Bates who emigrated to Perth. They both grew up in Oakengates. Not sure if you ever finished your search? Best, Simon
