About this site
Some of my ancestors lived (and are buried) in Coates (Click Here to see a map) and I have always felt an attraction to the place. In my early teens I bicycled from Fletton, Peterborough (where I lived) to Coates in a day. Family history research has revealed some facts about the village but Google has not provided me with much information. I decided to rectify this situation in 2012 having discovered many other One Place Studies, although that site has changed since I first found it; my site is now on the Register of OPS - click on the banner above. I plan to trawl the census returns and see just what I can find out about the village in which my ancestors lived. In particular I would be interested to see which people lived in Coates for the whole of their lives.
My main task was to complete a survey of the churchyard which I have now done. The results are to be found by clicking on the button below.

A note about accuracy of data on this site
The information on this website has been researched by me and is as accurate as I can make it within the constraints of the time I have available. Obviously there is plenty of room for human error since transcribing a census is no small task. You have been warned.
Much of the data is presented as images (gif and jpg files); this is because it is easier to upload tables to Weebly like this. If you would like data in an editable format please contact me and I will see what I can do to help. A list of the software I used is here.

The photograph which acts as the banner at the top of each page shows the War memorial which is near the main road. Full details of the names on the memorial can be found here. Behind that is the Methodist Chapel which recently held its final service.
