did they have any family before going to Australia - ie any other
information that may help to find them on 1841 census?
Best wishes Pam

Subject: [FLN] BATES surname in the county
Hello there
New to the list and trying to find an ancestor but not a lot of information
to open things with unfortunately
Have a John Bates who was 28 years old in 1844 when he and his family came
to Australia on the "United Kingdom" His "native place" was stated as
Flintshire and he was a Protestant.
Is anyone able to suggest where I might start looking for him in the county?
His wife, Mary Anne, was from Yorkshire and I have searched on one database
for them in Yorkshire in 1841 but nothing there. Is there any online
database that may have Flintshire at all?
Thanks for any help or suggestions - first of my ancestors from Wales!
