Hello, new to this forum, and hoping to find out some info to flesh out part of my family tree.
At the moment, I'm researching the Coates family.
They started life at Cirencester, but between 1853 and 1861, they moved to Aston, where they ran the Aston Hall Refreshment rooms.
The family consisted of George b.1816 Cirencester, his wife Ellen Wharton b 1816 Freshford Somerset.
The children were
Emily Coates b1844 Cirencester
Henry Giles Coates b.1846 Cirecester
Robert thomas Coates b.1847
Sarah Ann b.1848 Cirencester
Alfred James b.1851 Cirencester
Caroline b.1853 Cirencester/Birmingham area(not found her christening yet)
Annie Jane Coates b.1857 Aston.
I first saw the family in Aston park in the 1861 census.
In 1866, the Coates family tendered for running the Aston Refreshments rooms, and won it at a grand cost of £50.00 per annum.
Husband George died later that year, but wife Ellen carried on with the business, and it says that she held Christmas balls, would love to know of any more info about that.
Apparently at some stage they lived in Union Street, at other times they lived in what was called Lower Ground Cottages at Aston Hall.
George was a confectioner, as was his son Alfred James.
Henry giles Coates, aged 15, was living as a boarder at 25 Hatchett? Street, Birmingham,working as a gunsmith in the 1861 census. He married Fany Emma Birch at St Georges, Birmingham on the 27th june 1871.
Haven't found him yet in the 1881 census.
1891 and the family are at 145 Breamly Street, he's now working as a brass caster, I have no idea what that is yet.
By 1901, they have moved to Essex.
Robert Thomas Coates m Elizabeth Vale in 1872 at Aston.
1881 sees the family at 24 Hampton Street Birmingham, he's working as a gun barrel finisher.
By 1891 the family have moved to what looks like Back of no 37 Tower Street, no 1, he's now working as a gun barrel finisher.
The 1901 census he's at 73a Guildfod Street, but can't seem to find the census again to look!...
Sarah Ann Coates died 1859, aged 10/11, need to find her burial in Aston.
Alfred James Coates in the 1871 census is living with his Mum at the Aston Park, working as a confectioner, I'm not sure if he;s working at the Park, or elsewhere.
Caroline Coates is living with her mum in the 1871 census, aged 18, not sure where she goes after that yet.
Annie Coates is with Mum in 1871, and in the 1881, aged 22, she's a visitor at the house of Ez Rul Marks? a 31 year old unmarried clothier, again, not traced her after this.
Would love and information on their time at Aston Park, especially any photos, posters of it that i can put on my Ancestry tree which is public, so they need to be able to be reproduced.
Any information on the Streets that the family lived in, was it a poor area? back to backs? etc.
Any burial information about the Coates families, as alot of the had children in the Aston area before some moved on.
Pointed in the right direction for further research into any of these areas, including information for those working in the gun trades.
Apologies for the long post........got a bit carried away......ooops!!
