you could have a look at the CWGC site and see if he's listed on there

Peter, my first step would be to check out the electoral register for that street, if you haven't already done so. It isn't available during the war years, so you would need to do this either side.
With a bit of luck there will be a Coat(e)s living there.
You will have to do this in person or ask staff to do so for you.

This is a sketchy one, but I have been asked by a friend for some help. Her father was illegitimate, and she wants me to try and find his real dad, so her granddad. All she knows is his surname was Coats/Coates and she doesn't know his first name. He lived in Severs Street, Middlesbrough and died in WW2 ... is there anyway we can find out more about who he could be?

Best wishes,

Peter
