I upgraded my browser, so I've lost a lot of the emails I had and of course Ed, one of them was yours...just passing this along to you and I'll tell her about the list as well...Char ----- Original Message ----- From: Elwin Sperring Sent: Saturday, November 11, 2000 9:40 PM To: coats@lawyer4u.com Subject: Family Tree One of the ladies in my family tree has the name Elizabeth COATE. She m Joseph DAWBIN in Chedzoy, Cornwall. Elizabeth was born 1832 in Aller, Somerset. I would like more info on her as I have been able to go back with Joseph's family into the early 1700s where his ancestor was Lord of the Manor . Elizabeth told my grandmother that she was related to the Coats Cotton people but I do not know exactly how the relationship goes. I only add that bit of info because it may help to narrow the search. Elizabeth thought enough of the name to give it to a couple of her children as a middle name. She also called her favourite son Thomas Hole Dawbin. Makes me wonder if the Hole was also a surname in her family ??? If any of this info sounds familiar please let me know. I have been told to contact a man by the name of Edward Coats SiNKER but so far I have not found any address for him...have you heard of him ???
