Chistina and George thank you can i be cheeky and ask if you could find John Lees father John Francis Gates possible to Ann around 1844 Norwich possible thanksCindy

This would mean his parents married 80 years before he did?

Is this your John in 1891?

Eldest child born in 1869 in Norwich....so their marriage would possibly be late 1860's.

John's birth cert will confirm his mother's maiden name, but as his middle name is Lee he's probably named for her.

possible
Name: John Gates
Year of Registration: 1867
Quarter of Registration: Oct-Nov-Dec
District: Norwich
County: Norfolk

Ann Lee


would suggest you get one of the birth certs to see mums name

There's this one :

Name: John Lee Gates
Age: 25
Estimated birth year: abt 1871
Spouse Name: Alice Maria Palastanga
Spouse Age: 21
Record Type: Marriage
Event Date: 10 Oct 1896
Parish: St Andrew, Barnsbury
County: Middlesex
Borough: Islington
Father Name: John Francis Gates
Spouse Father Name: John Bertolli Palastanga

He's an engineer, address 97 John St. for both, his father an engineer, her father a stereotyper.

His baptism:

Name: John Lee Gates
Record Type: Baptism
Date: 24 Sep 1871
Father's Name: John Gates
Mother's Name: Ann Gates
Parish: St Dunstan and All Saints
Borough: Tower Hamlets
County: Middlesex

Original gives address as 32 Canal Rd. Father is an engineer. Birthdate 6 July 1871.

Thank you all very much i have to go out know but will go through all info when i get. back .Cindy

Possible? Before John Lee was born:
1871 census
32 Conway Terrace, Tower Hamlets, Mile End Old Town, London
John Gates, head, 29, machinist, born Norfolk, Aslacton
Ann, wife, 25, born Norfolk, Norwich
Eliz'th, dau, 2, born "
Fred'k., . brother, 20, machinist, born Aslacton

John Lee Gates and wife Alice in 1901. I think the John Lee who married in 1926 is probably the son John F.L. who is 2 here:
1901 census
90 Lofting Rd., Islington, Barnsbury, London
John L. Gates, head, 29, electical engineer, born Stepney
Alice M., wife, 25, born Barnsbury
Winnifred G., dau, 3, born "
John F.L., son, 2, born "
Emma Barker, boarder, 26, cook restaurant, born Clerkenwell

Can't find his birth but here's his sister:

Name: Winifred Gladys Gates
Record Type: Baptism
Date: 27 Feb 1898
Father's Name: John Lee Gates
Mother's Name: Alice Maria Gates
Parish: St Andrew, Barnsbury
Borough: Islington
County: Middlesex

Address is 22 Huntingdon St. Father is an electrician. Birthdate is 15 Dec, 1897.

I think this is his birth:

Births Mar 1899 (>99%)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Gates John Francis L Islington 1b 307

In short, I think the John Lee Gates who married Louise Victoria Boxall was actually John Francis Lee Gates born 1899, son of John Lee Gates, born 1871 and Alice Maria Palastanger. This John Lee Gates was the son of John Francis Gates, born 1842 and Ann Lee.

I think you skipped a generation.

Hi Margaretmanson a big thankyou I think you have really helped I was getting confused with so many Johns in this family.Cheers Cindy
