I am interested in making contact with any one who has connections with the family name Coates in Belfast. My ggrandfather George Coates, came to Melbourne, Australia in 1853. Born in Waring Street, c1832 his parents were George and Ann (McFarlane). George had a brother William (born c1827) who died in Chesire 1886, married to a Rachel Coates, her father was William Coates also of Belfast, Rachel was still alive in 1912 living in Malone Avenue.
