Welcome to the Bates Place

Welcome to the Bates Place: "The site creation was prompted by the finding of our long lost cousins in Australia and the need to exchange information between us all. It has now evolved into a family history site and has 35 pages and many photographs.

I am looking forward to receiving some input from anyone with an interest in any of the surnames and localities shown on the history pages and any historical contribution however small may help put another piece of the jigsaw into place."
