Hello! I'm new ... BATE and COLEY/Black Country

Post by smoky »

I'm looking for ancestors BATE and COLEY, from chain-making families in the Black Country [Stourbridge, Dudley, Cradley Heath]. Despite there being hundreds of them, or perhaps because of it, have hit a brick wall. The only thing I'm sure of is that Clarence BATE [my grandfather] married Dora Millicent COLEY [my grandmother] during or just after WW1. Their children were named Alan, Brian [my father] and Anne. Clarence was one of 12 or 15 children. Dora had a brother Tom and a sister Verena, and possibly others. Sadly, all are now deceased.
Is anyone looking for the same family? Or tips on how to start from so little information?

Hi Smoky, Welcome to the forum
A person should have an opinion on everything, It becomes tact whether you reveal that opinion or not.
