Looking for any relations of John Bates, born around 1890 and was married to Kathleen Weir. They had three children, Kathleen, Mary & a boy who died. I'm afraid I don't know where he was born, but he lived in Whitehaven at least between the 1920s & the 1960s. He had two sisters, Ada & Violet and three brothers, James, Albert & George. He went on the Jarrow march and was one of the mouth organ players. At some point in his life he was in Canada and we have a piece of gold ore from his time over there. |
