About me
Peterborough Cathedral in 2010
I would be pleased to hear from anyone who has information about Coates, particularly from 1800-1926.
I hail from Peterborough where my father had a business as a Master Joiner; he took over from James Thomas Ashworth who was a Carpenter/Undertaker. His father William had been a wheelwright in Coates.
I did not follow in the footsteps of my family by becoming a carpenter. Instead, I read Music at Bristol University and I now live in Northamptonshire. Family History is just a hobby of mine although I am also interested in bellringing.
