Find Ancestors

oh bless her
i have just found why my george had that funny name maybe you already found it but it certainly explains where his name comes from
right my george maple moate father was called george moates
his parents were called get this thomas moate and eliza maples so there is the answer as you said they certainly wanted to make a point about the name.

Ah, I wondered - was going to have a look in the IGI for George Sr's parent's marriage, hadn't got around to it.

Yes, that was making a point all right. ;)

this is great wheni clicked onto where i got the name from someone on ancestry also has info and he was buried in campsall this just gets better i dont think he ever married cos at one point in 1871 i think it is he lived with his sister

wow this just gets better i am still looking through this other persons tree to see wht i can find it gives all siblings and dates of birth and death and even a photo of the church they are buried

Can you figure out what relation the tree owner is to that Moate family?

That's always my problem - I have no clue how to get from the person in 1820 to the person born 30-40 years ago. They may be so distantly related to my person by 16 marriages that we may as well be different species, for all I can tell.

i couldnt even tell you how i got onto it lol ilooked for the census of george moate cant even remember which one and it came up saying somebody had the tree on ancestry so i went onto it and i have just been amazed it goes right back to thomas moate in 1470 how good is that and that the moates had a farm in auckley near doncaster.
