William COATES. ^[1][2]

William was born in 1774, in Murrow Cambridgeshire and died there aged 47 in 1821. ^[3][4]

William married Sarah BUNTER at nearby Parson Drove on 2 Apr 1798, a chapel in the Parish of Leverington.^[5] They had twelve children in all but only reared three. The first were registered at Parson Drove, but later ones in the Parish of Wisbech, St Mary the neighbouring parish. There is a village called COATES some five miles away.^[6]

"PARSON DROVE is a chapelry in Leverington civil parish, 2½ miles north from Murrow station on the London and North Eastern railway from March to Doncaster, and the Peterborough to Sutton Bridge branch of the Midland and Great Northern joint railway and 6 south-west from Wisbech, in the hundred union, petty sessional division, county court district, rural deanery and archdeaconry of Wisbech and diocese of Ely. The ecclesiastical parish was formed in 1870 from the civil parish of Leverington."

"The parish shares one-third of the interest of £90, left by John Bend in 1593, the remaining two-thirds being assigned to Wisbech St. Mary. There is no manor. The soil is rich loam; subsoil, clay and silt. The chief crops are wheat, oats, potatoes, beans and fruit. The area is 4,078 acres of land and 18 of water; the population in 1921 was, of the civil parish 959 and of the ecclesiastical parish 200." [Kelly's Directory - 1929]
