I found Coates in the following places - Gloucester - Halifax - Rappahannock. I did not find my Edward Coates (well the one lead that I have). The only lead that I have is what I have posted before an Edward Coates born 1917 in the RASC, maybe from Radford and may have dies in 1983. Any ideas on what else to do or where else to look? Belinda PS I have taken down names and places etc of all the Coates that I found in Virginia from the project if anyone wants them.
