This is my branch of the Tennyson, Williams, Bates (Jones) tree.
I have a bit more if anyone is interested. I just joined this site today and am not familiar with how to use the search options. If you message me, I will provide my email address. I am VERY interested in all branches of this side of my family....ESPECIALLY the elusive, John Tennyson.
Walter Tennyson Bates and Elizabeth Jane Bates. He came with his mother and sisters from Tasmania by boat into Canada and then settled in Berkeley, CA to study with Luther Burbank. He owned his own nursery there. Any info would be helpful - thanks.
My Grandmother, Doris Elizabeth Bates was the youngest born of seven from Walter and Elizabeth. In Hobart, Tasmania.
