Matthew Bates grave monument: legible names and details
| full name | burial date | age | birth date | relationship | notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Matthew Bates | 1815 | 75 | 1740 | first name on monument | Matthew Bates of Kenton. Matthew Bates died in 1845 - the gravestone has deteriorated since I last saw it in the 1980s and '1815' should read '1845'. He was born in Eltringham, in Ovingham parish, in 1773 and baptised there on 22 July. His parents were John Bates and Ann (Hartgrove). He was a coal-miner and moved to Kenton in about 1800, having married Catherine Parker in Ovingham in 1795. He was well known and respected as a grower of garden flowers, even evolving his own varieties, and winning prizes at local flower-shows. |
