Find Ancestors

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.

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.

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

You saw who Ann was working for in 1851?

Google "George M Stansfield" --

"George M Stansfield
In 1865 was a surgeon of 8 Burlington Buildings, Redland. In this year he exhibited a pontoon cooking range and carriage for service in the field in the Useful and Ornamental class of the Bristol Industrial Exhibition . He claimed that the carriage in addition to conveying the pontoon kettles, frame for fireplace etc would also serve the purpose of a light wagon, an ambulance (with springs fitted) and a field hospital or operation table and a canvas cover was supplied for this purpose. He was awarded Certificate of Honourable Mention.

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. ;)

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.

Well it was pretty easy -- although I haven't got her in 41, so I shouldn't mock.

Take a look at the image, she'd certainly moved off the farm there. Maybe she was hoping to marry a rich doctor. ;)

So ... where *is* Ann??

I have just had a look at ancestry wow
I wonder whos child Maria Moate was seems there might have been a few children born out of wedlock.
Need to find where anne was in the years between george being born and 1861

Just before you go: cousins.

Search trees for Moate born in Fenwick.

Somebody has a George 1824, hm, but there are a lot of GR members with people who could be George's siblings, e.g. Mary 1821.

I'm jealous ...

Am just happy you have found his father and relatives thats a gold mine to me but yeah would have been nice knowing which farm and where its a great feeling when you finally have answers and can piece things together
thanks again

Do you have Ancestry? Take a look at the image. If you don't, send me your email address and I'll email a copy.

The household in 1861 was:

Thomas Moate 83
George Moate 43
Mary Ann Moate 40
Caroline Moate 39
Henry Moate 34
-- all unmarried children
Maria Moate 13 - granddaughter - ?
Jane Pickels 20 - dairymaid
Francis Senior 25 - carter
George Rimington 13 - carter

(those are not counting the 2 labourers, who lived elsewhere)

I'd say it was a dairy farm?

Well, I think 270 acres made you a cut above. ;)

Back about then, my grx2 grmother on another side was picking crops, I think. Mind you, one of my grx2 grfathers appearently owned a mine. If you can figure out who *his* father was, I'll trade you part of the mine for part of the farm. Because his name was on the birth certificate ... but I think maybe it shouldn't have been ...

I was going to say good luck figuring out where the mine is/was, but I may know in fact, so I think I'll shut up now and just take my few acres. Actually, I'd be happy with one. Or a half. Time-share?

FANTASTIC Thanks all of you how amazing you all are i have been looking for ages obviously wrong places
Yes his mother was a servant and thats why i wondered about his name exactly why would you name your child that name lol.
Now all we need to do is find out which farm and ill share my inheritance with you all. I take it if you owned a farm in those days and had servants you were rich then.

Oh - he was rich.

In 1861, his father was a farmer of 270 acres employing 2 labourers.

The farm doesn't have a name, so I can't tell you where to go to claim your inheritance.

Was your George's mother an Ag Lab or a domestic servant by any chance? Like my gr-grmother's situation probably was, it may not have been a love match. But she may have named him like that to cement his claim to some support.
