joseph Oates, Warwickshire?
A mystery that I hoope someone can unravel.
MAry Ann Arnold was born in Coventry abt 1839, she married John Mullis abt 1858. She has named Joesph Oates on her marriage certificate as her father, but I cannot find her birth or any trace of Joesph Oates. Oates is a yorkshire name and not perculiar to Warwickshire and I have tried all combinations of this name. Can anyone help?
