Hello Karen,
I am descended from Edward as follows:-
Edward 1730 - 1784
Robert 1760 - ?
William 1790 - ?
Edward 1813 - 1879
William 1839 - 1909
Sidney William 1875 - 1951
Charles William (my dad) 1909 - 1967
I am one of 3 children, just one brother to continue the Coath line. He
just has the one son who is married with a 6 year old daughter , and no sign
of any others. So it looks like our particular branch might end there.
Sue

Hello everyone,
Now Rootsweb (the server on which this list is hosted) has a strict policy
regarding messages about Virus outbreaks, however as list owner I am just
sending you a "heads up" message, not inviting a debate.
As some of you may know a new computer virus (actually a Trojan)was
unleashed yesterday. They have now discovered that if you open this virus it
harvests all passwords including credit card and bank detailsas well as all
addresses on your computer.
The contaminated messages at the moment have titles such as "Undeliverable
message", "HI", "Test" etc
I check my mail while it is still on my ISP server. During my lunch today,
while at work I deleted over 250 of these messages from my account. (all
since 7.30 this morning) I have just checked it again and in the last 6
hours I accumulated a further 750.
Please be very careful at the moment when checking mail. Make sure you are
using the latest virus checker and update it regularly and NEVER open an
attached file unless you are sure that it is legitimate.
Of the 1000 contaminated messages today I only need to accidently open one
to get my system contaminated.
If in doubt delete the message.
I have the honor to be
With the highest respect
Your faithful & obedient servant

Hi
Debbie, you asked why my grandfather Coath was buried under the name Percy Andrew Bell.
He disappeared in 1927. My mother was raised by relatives. We often wondered what happened to him. In 1991, I entered the coath name in the GRD. I was surprised to get a letter from a coath relative in England. He told me that they were greatly surprised. They thought that FJ Coath died a bachelor. They did not know about my mom or her brother. I checked the BC Death certificate and all the details were correct except the name. All his estate was transferred to coath relatives in England as no one knew that he had family. A mystery finally solved.
Without going into great detail, FJ Coath was not a dependable or reliable chap. Some memories are best forgotten. It did help mom put closure on what happened to him as she said often that she would probably pass away without knowing his whereabouts.
Take care all
Pat Simpson
Further to my message yesterday, I was today sent a link to this website.
http://www.tribalpages.com/tribes/royal
It is another site for people to put their own family trees on.
It contains a sample tree featuring the British Royal Family.
Remember what I said about wrong information being available online.
Who else knew that Prince Charles married Princess Francis or that the Queen
mother was Queen Marquerite
or that Prince Charles surname is "Of Wales"
If someone can make a mistake on what is argueably the most well traced
family tree possible then what hope is there for the rest of us.
I have the honor to be

Hello everyone
I have just been forwarded this by a list member and posted it here just to
make sure you are all aware of this scam:
******************************************************
ST PETER CATHOLIC
CHURCH,NO: 1220 WACO
ROAD LAYOUT LOME TOGO.
Date:19-1-2004
FROM:Rev Fr Frank Arizee.
DEAR ******** Coath.
On behalf of the trustees and executors to the Will of
late Engr.Edward Coath ,I have tried to reach you by
mail but the letter was returned undelivered;I now try
your e-mail. I wish to notify you that you are a
beneficiary to the bequest
sum of $7,000000 [Seven MillonUS dollars]in
the codicil and last testament of the deceased .
The late Engr.Edward Coath until his death was a
very dedicated Christian and a strong member of my
parish, he was a great philanthropist and this earned
him an award during his life time.
Late Engr.Edward Coath died on 29th January 2002 at
the age of 82 years. He was buried on the 4th of
February, 2002 and his will is now in
execution. Late Engr.Willy Bubenik even though he was
an American living and working here as a foreigner, he
requested before his death ,that
he should be buried here. In his words 'I regard here
as My home and the people as my people'.
He said that this token is to support your Christian
activities and help the less privileged.
Forward your current telephone and fax numbers and
your Mailing address to enable the Attorney Executing
the will contact you and file necessary documents at
our high court probate division.
for the release of the bequest .
May the good lord be with you.
Congratulations!
Yours in His service
Rev Fr Frank Arizee.
*****************************************************
This is what is known as a 4-1-9 letter, as that is the Nigerian penal code
for fraud.
There are schools in Nigeria that teach people how to send out thousands of
these style letters every day.
The only difference is the name changes, however sometimes they make
mistakes as in paragraph 3
"Late Engr.Edward Coath died on 29th January 2002 at
the age of 82 years. He was buried on the 4th of
February, 2002 and his will is now in
execution. Late Engr.Willy Bubenik even though he was
an American living and working here as a foreigner"
Where we find the scammer left the name of the previous "victim" in, one
Willy Bubenick.
If you get one of these just delete it.
There are many variations on a theme, as you will find out here:

Hi Debbie,
According to my records, my mother is also descended from Francis Coath through his son William.
My records are still quite vague, but I have this much to go on.
William Coath
Francis Coath Sheep thief
William Coath son
Robert Coath
Robert Pill Coath
Frederick John Coath
Marion Elizabeth Coath my mother
Frederick John Coath is buried in Vancouver, British Columbia Canada under the name Percy Andrew Bell. Robert Pill Coath has already been discussed on this list as he was the man who ran the mine in Calstock? and then resigned to run an inn.
Take care everyone.

Hello again Folks
Now I know that some of you use the site "Genesconnected" in fact I met some
of you through that site.
I myself am a member however I do not put up family tree's there.
The reason being firstly (purely for selfish reasons)all of the family trees
are up on my own site for viewing by family members, but more importantly
for this reason:
By submitting any material to the GenesConnected Service, you:
- are representing that you are fully entitled to do so;
- grant us a non-exclusive, royalty-free, non-terminable licence to copy,
modify, distribute, show in public and create derivative works from that
material solely in the course of its processing and display on and through
the GenesConnected Service in accordance with this Agreement; and
- agree that you are the controller of that material for the purposes of
privacy and data protection laws.
A birth, marriage or death certificate costs £7. Membership to the Society
of Genealogists costs another £50, add to this the costs of belonging to the
other Family History Societies, plus the costs of purchasing wills,
reference books, reference software,not to mention travelling around the
country looking for gravestones etc, bring the figure to over £1000 per
year.
My choice entirely and it gives me great pleasure to be able to share my
findings with other Coath descendants.
All I ask in return is that we share information amongst ourselves.
I would really hate to receive an e-mail from some company offering to sell
me years of our hard work.
The internet is a two-edged sword. Until I contacted Sue I had never printed
out our family tree. I promised Sue I would do so without realising the size
and as I am sure she can testify I turned up at her door with "war and
Peace". In fact it filled the floor of her living room. It now fills 135
pages, hence my reason for finally putting the tree's online.
I used to run a Karate website which contained pages and pages of unique
information.
However, due to the invention of "Right click, copy, paste" that "Unique"
information now exists on at least 6 websites that I know of, all atributed
to that websites owner.
I thought about disabling "Right Click" on the Coath site but decided
against it as the information relates to each of us.
The reason for the password is so that if a new person wants the information
then at least they could contact us first and introduce themselves. Again,
part of the information sharing.
I can state that MOST of the information of the Coath site is correct
because I myself have seen the original source records.
It is a form of quality control. I know that some of the information on
Coaths on Genesconnected is wrong.
I have the honor to be
With the highest respect

Hello Coath Everywhere, may I join in with the introductions, my name is Mike Curno, and my link with the Coaths is as follows, my great grandfather Douglas James Curno, a seaman (don't know where he died) married Elizabeth Coath at St Margaret's church Westminster 19 June 1855, I know she came back to the westcountry with her son (my grandad) and remarried a William Austin, I have all marriage details. Elizabeth was the Daughter of John Coath and Lucy Ann ...?, they lived at Millbrook and Maker, John was born at Lewannick near Launceston, and was the son of Peter Coath and Amy (emmy) Wadge. Peter was baptised 31 oct 1764, the line does go back further and I believe it to be correct because different sources have told me the same thing, but I have not seen the documents myself.
Steve, keep up the good work, I am with you, and if you make another journey down here, send me a notice and I hope we can met up, regards Mike.
hello all,
and hello fellow adelaide coath descendant stan, which branch are you from ? edward or john?
Is there anyone out there descended from edward coath line?? would love to hear from you?

Hello Everyone
I am pleased to announce that the John Coathe family tree is now back
online.
The reason it has taken so long was that I managed to confirm a link with
another branch of Coaths and have added these.
This means that that family tree now contains 942 people.
My family tree software does not remove living people therefore I have had
to go into each persons sheet and change it.
The tree now goes up to the present date however all you will find on living
people is LIVING Coath etc.
Now I know that you can go online to the FreeBMD registers and find that
Richard Coath was born in the first Qtr of 1995 to Ann Smith who was married
to Peter Coath in 1994, but I have had to do this to protect myself.
Not all of us Coaths are happy with family research. Some are apalled that
another person knows their date of birth and god forbid that that person is
able to get a copy of their birth certificate. There have already been
lawsuits in the US with peoples details being placed on web sites.
Some of you may remember me speaking of my famous battles with a certain US
researcher about our family.
Basically I received an enquiry to which I responded and gave details. That
person then replied stating that she had been given information which
contradicted mine.
The information she had been given basically stated that the Coaths were
descended from one William De La Coath of the knights who came over with
William the Conqueror and we were descended from French Nobility, she also
enclosed a copy of the Coath Coat of Arms which was carried by that knight.
Firstly, every single knight who came over is known as their names were
commemerated in Bayeux. Needless to say there is no mention of a De La Coath
or anything similar. Secondly, Arms were not awarded until some 300 years
later.
In addition she had mothers giving birth before they were born and people
who just did not exist (at least with that name)
She then wrote back to the US researcher telling her that I had said her
data was wrong. There then followed a long campaign by her in which she
threatened that unless I was to publically apologise, admit that she was
right, Hand over to her the role of "Official Coath researcher" and cease my
own research then I would be hearing from her legal representative.
So remember, not all Coaths are as interested as we are. Last year I sent a
letter to every Coath household in the UK and only received 3 replies.
I have the honor to be
With the highest respect

Hi all,
Just wanted to say how pleased I was to have my first Coath contact (other than our Mr. Steve of course!) .
Been in touch with Judith who is currently in the States but is descended from the same Coath line as myself. Her ancestor was a brother of the notorious Francis . Funny how when I lived at Tregavethan I was so keen to see the sheep in the fields! Francis was a sheep thief for those of you who may be wondering! I'm saying nothing!
Judith's family moved across the Tamar to Plymouth but she has a sister who lives about a mile from me! Amazing! Hopefully I'll be able to meet her and who knows, we may already have met.
This is great!
Debbie
Hi
Just a note of interest. My mother is the ggg granddaughter of Francis Coath. We did not know anything about the Coath family history until a decade ago. One entry in the GRD opened up the doors to a lot of family history.
Take care everyone.

Hi Everyone,
Following Sues lead I would like to introduce myself.
My name is Debbie Campbell (nee Coath) and I have been introduced to this
site by Steve who contacted me recently regarding a member of the family.
I am descended from the John Coath side from Newlyn and have been fascinated
to learn so much so quickly about our ancestors. This of course, is thanks
to the immense endeavours of Steve. I have delved into my family tree before
but finding the relevant information difficult to come by, I gave up .
I currently live in Redruth, Cornwall with my husband Ian and two children,
Toby 13 and Johanna 8 (neither exactly proper Cornish names!). Originally
from Liskeard, where it seems a large proportion of my ancestors lived with
few venturing over the Tamar.
The recent postings regarding Francis Coath are fascinating and I shall be
making a trip to Bodmin Gaol to see it with new eyes. I have visited before,
many years ago but of course had no idea then that there was any connection
with the Coaths. My husband has been there recently as part of his job in
tourism. Yup, even Bodmin Gaol has become a tourist attraction though Ian
says it has a really grim feel to it!
I shall look forward to reading future posts and hopefully connecting with
lots of other Coaths.
Debbie

It looks like so far over 370 people have looked at the web site and several
of you have joined this list quietly.
This list was formed as a way for ALL Coaths to keep in touch, sort of one
big party line.
Therefore if anyone is able, could they reply to the list instead of
directly to me. Hopefully that will encourage others to do the same,
resulting in more healthy discussion.
In the meantime could I suggest just as a starter that you all introduce
yourselves, just to break the ice.
Hi all,
I am Sue, (but for records purposes, I am Patricia Susan, just to confuse
everyone when they research the family tree), and a 2nd cousin of Steve's.
His grandfather, Alfred (1900-!982) was my uncle, my dad (Charles, 1909 -
1967) brother. I live in Luton and have met Steve once when I first got in
touch with him through the friendsreunited website, when I first started
tinkering around with researching the family tree. I'll admit to having not
done very much, because Steve is so much in advance of me, but I enjoy
reading all the info he posts. So I am now also tinkering around with my
mother's side of the tree.
Well done Steve, I've just read all the latest updates on the site.
But I am having a problem getting into John Coathe's family tree. I have
kept the original e mail you sent giving us user name and password, so I
don't know what I can be doing wrong. Any ideas?
Sue

Hello all
I am having a lot of problems at the moment linking the John Coathe family
tree back in after its update.
(okay, I will admit...I cant remember my administrator password)
If you can all bear with me I should have it back up in the next few days.
Part of the problem is it has doubled in size since I first put it up. I am
also using a new web design package for the first time so there will be a
few changes. (hopefully I will reduice the time it takes to load the
pictures)
On the subject of pictures, does anyone have any that I could use for the
site?
