Hi Dinah Just a little bit of information about the Yates family. The family descend from Rabbi Benjamin Yates, son of Eliyakim Goetz of Strelitz The family became Yates in Liverpool. Leopold Yates' ancestor was Liverpool's first Rabbi (or High Priest). Information about the family is in the Liverpool Record Office, including family trees, etc, as well as in various web sites on the internet. Leopold Yates and his wife Deborah Moses (daughter of Charles Moses and Elizabeth Alexander) had around 15 children, some of them born in Australia. Leopold's father was Saul Yates, a solicitor, who married Sarah Isaacs, of London. Saul Died in 1867 in Goulburn, in country NSW, and his tombstone is in the Jewish cemetery there. His wife, Sarah, died in Auckland in 1972. I will send you more details off line.
