Trish: I have only found mention of Dorcas Lovell from the 1881 Census onward when, of course, she was listed as Dorcas Bates, along with her husband, Samuel Bate or Bates. I wonder how & when she got from Long Crendon to Aston & if her family moved there with her. She must have married very young. George

George,

Here's Dorcas in 1851 [probably]:

The enumerator's handwriting is difficult to read in spots, so wherever I can't read it or I'm not sure, I have added ???s. The street address is especially puzzling.

Trish: Many thanks for your information regarding Dorcas Lovell, my Great Grandmother. Now it appears clear that the whole family migrated north to Aston/ Birmingham. It also appears that my Grandfather, Caleb Bates, (2nd last of 11 children),was named for Dorcas' brother Caleb, a name that my Grandfather did not like. As a result, he went by the name Arthur after he emigrated to Canada in 1911 with his wife, Frances Sarah (Sharpe) Bates & my mother, Edith Hilda (Bates) McKend. Most of Caleb's male siblings became bricklayers in England, like their father, Samuel Bates.

Thank you again for taking the time to locate & forward this info to me. My belated good wishes to you for good health & happy times in 2006.
