Nora and Jim BATES -Lost Cousins/Uncle, Modified !!! « Posted: 10 March 2010 at 09:01 AM »

Hola Lowestoft,from Spain

Due to my parents divorce in the 50's lost touch with Aunt Gladys Noreen Bates nee Lunt, SHE WAS ALWAYS CALLED NORA.
(now deceased buried in Waveney 1982 ) and her husband James Bates.
They had daughters Jacqueline and Patricia, who probably have married.

The only address I have is the one from the Waveney cemetery site -12 Victoria Road Lowestoft.
I have been trying for 10 years to find this part of my family,as my elderly sister wanted to contact her cousins,they were very close as children in N. Ireland.

I had a quick look at 192.com electoral rolls for Lowestoft 2002-3 and there was a James Bates,and a Jacqueline REID AND A THOMAS R REID at same home.
Would anyone be able to help?
Please
Many Thanks
Elsa-Mary

Hello Elsa-Mary

I've today checked the 1982 Electoral Register for 12, Victoria Road:

BATES Gladys N.

BATES James

REID Jacqueline

REID Thomas

So the people you found online, do indeed seem to be your family. I'd just remind you though, that the Entry you found was 2002/3, so they may have since moved.

Regards,

Jinksy

Hello Jinksy

Thank You, for confirming that info.
It really does seem to be my family- on the little bit of the roll I was able to see,Jacqueline 's name was Jacqueline R Reid,and Thomas Reid.
It seems that Gladys N Bates died in1982 and is buried in Kirkley Cemetery.

I used the UKELECTORAL ROLL site -but was unable to find what was partially on 192!!!

So far ,I have tried telephone directories for Suffolk-and made contact with at least eight persons with the name of Reid-ALL have been charming but sadly not my relatives.

I am just totally stumped,as they do not seem too appear again on the roll sit I have searched.
I have tried quite a few telephone directories for the surname Reid J AND T.
i HAVE JUST BEEN HOPING NOW SOMEONE may know them and point me in the right direction,as you say they may have moved,and sadly James Bates may have passed away as he would be a grand age now for sure-still my other Aunt in Canada born in 1917 is still alive!! so you never know!!!

Many thanks,I do appreciate your help,at last I know for sure now these are definately my family.

An excellent idea fc!

Next time I'm in town, I'll take a look at that address in Worlingham to try & find if/when they left too.

Hi All,

When I searched the burials in Kirkley,the address given at that time was 12 Victoria Rd. Lowestoft.
You will appreciate as I am in Spain,apart from knowing where Lowestoft is I knows
nossing about the area Grin

(I am from Barcelona lol)

It seems as if after Gladys's death 1982 , they dropped off the earth!!!

So sorry do not have any more details of the family,but they are definately my family.

Thanks
Elsa-Mary

If they were in Worlingham in 2002/3 (as stated on 192.com), that's not far from here Elsa-Mary. But I've never used that site before & so don't know how accurate that information is. I'll try & find them in Worlingham on local Electoral Register.

There was a phone number listed on 192 for the family in Worlingham, but again I don't know if it's accurate? I'm sending you a PM with the number.
