Bates Bates
Does anyone know the origin of the name Bates?
I think it is English, but anyone know what part of the UK in particular? Or am I totally wrong and not English? I told my great grandfather was Irish and his name is (was) Bates? Bates did not sound Irish to me …?
I have family Enlgand and Ireland. Indeed, Bate families of England and Ireland, Scotland. They are installed and the fourth. Most of them came from England
