I do not have your specific Charles Bates in my records.My Bates ancestors had numerous children beginning with the arrival of John Bates from Isle of Guernsey in 1817.This Bates family lived largely in Kensington and the Northern Liberties of Philadelphia.My suggestion would be to first determine from the 1900 census where Charles was born as well as his parents.I would then compare that finding with the various city directories which were done every year.This will help you make a location in Philly itself.I have numerous maps of churches, etc. in Philly for the above mentioned aareas of the city which could narrow your search.To answer your original question, from my records I do not have your Charles.This does not mean your line is not connected to mine.The good news is that the farther you go back in Philly, the fewer Bateses there are.My e-mail is [email protected]
