From: "Le Bateman" <LeBateman@att.net> > Has anyone come across the surname of Oates in Yorkshire?> What an extraordinary question! Which part of Yorkshire? Who, when, where? Which particular Oates family are you talking about? In the 1881 census of Britain there were 4,664 entries for the surname OATES and just over FORTY per cent - 1,901 - were in the West Riding of Yorkshire. There were another 90 in the East Riding and 37 more in the East Riding, so in total around 43 per cent of the Oateses were in Yorkshire. Clearly, it's a strongly Yorkshire surname, so the likelihood of someone having come across it is great indeed. The greatest number of Oates entries were at Dewsbury (407), followed by Halifax (298), Bradford (191), Leeds (169), Sheffield (167) and Ecclesall Bierlow (162). Intriguingly, these top six places were followed by Truro at the other end of the country in Cornwall, where there were 104 Oates. Possibly a Yorkshire branch went down to Cornwall and flourished there. However, can you not see how ridiculously vague your question is? It's like asking if anyone has come across the name Smith! Try being more specific. * Source of figures: Surname Atlas, which analyses all the data from the 1881 census and produces instant distribution maps and tables. -- Roy Stockdill Editor, Journal of One-Name Studies Guild of One-Name Studies website: www.one-name.org Newbies' Guide to Genealogy & Family History: www.genuki.org.uk/gs/Newbie.html "There is only one thing in the world worse than being talked about, and that is not being talked about."
