Beatrice Coates (1888-1923) of Cleckheaton, West Yorkshire
« on: Thursday 07 December 23 17:01 GMT (UK) »
Beatrice Coates (b. 26 Apr 1888, d. 26 Nov 1923) was my maternal grandmother. She was the daughter of Benjamin Coates and Lucy Roberts of Cleckheaton, West Yorkshire.

Beatrice married Harry Thurman Barker (1892-1961) on 8 Aug 1917 at St. John’s, Cleckheaton. Beatrice died a couple of weeks after giving birth to her only daughter, my mum Gladys Pennington, nee Barker.

I have never seen any photographs of Beatrice. Can anyone help?

Have you tried contacting the 22 ancestry tree members who list her ?  You might just strike lucky that way;  :-\

Which “22 ancestry tree members” are you referring to? Are they contactable on Rootschat?

It depends if they are members here as well.

If you have access to ancestry you can search for her name in family trees and those tree owners can be messaged directly. 

Hope this helps.

Ancestry Members are contactable thru Ancestry (where you have your family tree)

http://www.rootschat.com/links/01su0/

Your tree is here (only available to view with membership)

I’m on Ancestry and have messaged many people over the years about different people, including about Beatrice Coates. The initial reply from “Sandra” implied (to me) that Beatrice Coates was included on the family trees of 22 other people who I assume must be on Rootschat which I’m not entirely familiar with.

Not sure what this adds or what the query is???

Sandra has gone onto Ancestry and found a number of trees that mention your forebear.  Her suggestion was that you also do this search on Ancestry and make contact with them. 

You could also search here on Rootschat to see if a RC member has raised Beatrice or the family on Rootschat but that is separate/addtional to checking out Ancestry.

Sandra did not say that the people who have Beatrice on thier Anesctry trees are also members here.  Some may be but not necessarily.
