My mother was a Bate, and had a brother Arthur Bate and two sisters Ethel and Millie. The family lived in Kent, England, but I understand came from the west country. Arthur was the youngest and would have been born around 1910.
This is not very helpful, and I only mention it because of the name Arthur.I believe Arthur's son - Beryl (my cousin) who lives in Bath, England has done some work on the family genealogy.I live in Canada and have done no research.
I see that most of the Bates listed come from the north country.
