I'm looking for the head of household and others of the family living with

Abraham Bates, born 1898, possibly Walsall

sent to Canada on the Corsican in 1912
joined in WW I in 1917 and back to England

but can't find him in 1901 ?!!

regards,

Rob

1837online is of no help for me !

to many possibilities and I would have to buy them all (cert)
to check if it is the right ones.

anybody can tell me where I can check for USA 1901 census
for an Isabella Amison Bates born Glasgow at 1855

...and see if there is a John Bates living with her !?!!

beside that, I'm lost

thanks for the help !

Rob

Thank for the trouble MR !

Hi! Tricia,

last time we wrote, you said you would check it up again and get back at me...

in the meanwhile I still haven't found what I was looking for but I got more clues
in the doing so (on Sarah Williams,..at least I got the right one now as for her birth date) but I still haen't resolve the marriage enigma !!!

The thing with John And Isabella doesn't seem to match (check the web site address above) maybe you can figure it out better than me.

maybe if we can find where that "John" died will answer it because as mentioned on the web site, Isabella and the kids all moved to NJ, US by 1900..(and they even had more kids afterworth) was John with them or not...n0o clue but I guess so !!!

my honest idea on that is that a different eye can bring different views
and it is quite hard (to be polite) to get answers from where I stand, as you know
...So sorry for the mislead if I ever cause any and i'll try to be more rigorous !!

The Optimist way of seeing it altough is that,.. you should she it on this side of the Atlantic...it's either write and wait or drop dead before you get a clue of some sort.

ROOTSCHAT is a miracle for me after 2 long years of searching for fantom...

Anyway be kind with me, I'll reach up to you guy's standard one of these days !!!

much grateful in the meanwhile,

regards,

Rob

would anybody be king enough to look up any possible marriage record of :

John Bates, born 1852 Rugeley and
Sarah Williams, born 1855 Brewood

NOTES:
-between 1880 and 1910 !?!!
-could be a remarriage !?!!or who where they married to before

regards,

Rob

Thank you all !

definitely seem to be the same family, still either they had 16th children or so,
or they where in to playing with the censer guy !?!!

much grateful for the information.

small question ?

how can I find the where about of my father from England to Canada ?
...and a previous marriage record in England, possibly Bournemouth 1944
Adam Bates, born Walsall 1900
(could of became Arthur William Bates by then, guess it ran in the family not liking their birth name)

I have no clue where to look for after 1901 census !?!!

my regards to you John and Helen,

Rob
