ARE YOU ENTITLED TO A COAT OF ARMS?

By David Bate

The Bates Association has used a coat of arms on its masthead for many years. But are any Bates Association Members entitled to use this coat of arms? A coat of arms belongs to an individual and not a surname. Armorial bearings are hereditary. A coat of arms was tradi- tionally granted to a male individual and passes to his descendants in the male line. It can be borne and used by all de- scendants in the legitimate male line of the original armiger. No coat of arms may be claimed by any individual based solely on a surname. To establish a right to arms by inher- itance, it is necessary to prove descent from an ancestor who is already recorded as entitled to such arms in the regis- ters of the College of Arms. The presentation of a family pedigree is a key step in this process. As such, the number of individuals with the Bate or Bates surname who may legitimately claim the right to bear arms is much smaller than pre- sented in popular culture, particularly by commercial coat of arms services that populate the Internet (commonly known as ‘bucket shop’ heraldry). Any establishment that sells a coat of arms to a person not entitled to such arms or any per- son who uses of a coat of arms without entitlement commits ‘heraldic fraud’. The College of Arms is the official heraldic authority for England, Wales, Northern Ireland and much of the Common- wealth, including Australia and New Zealand. It is the official record keeper of all coats of arms and other heraldic infor- mation in those realms. IN THIS ISSUE Dr. David Bate, a lifetime member of The Bates Association, com- missioned the College of Arms in England to prepare a report Election of Officers….....………………….Front Cover which lists all the coats of arms associated with the Bate and Bates surnames from its sources.

College Collections and the Matriculation of Arms (Scotland). Two non-authoritative references were also consulted, namely Burke’s General Armory and Fairbairn’s Book of Crests. As it turns out, there are 104 entries for coats of arms for people with the Bate or Bates surname. Dr. Bate’s branch does not immediately appear entitled to bear a coat of arms. However, there may be other members of The Bates As- sociation who are entitled to bear a coat of arms if they can identify an ancestor in the records. If any Member identifies an ancestor in the report and believes that they are entitled to bear a specific coat of arms, the next step would be for them to contact the College of Arms and submit a family pedigree which shows the relationship between the armiger and the Member. Once the relationship is confirmed by the College of Arms, there is a process and procedures to fol- low to become entitled to bear those arms. The report cost $1,200. Dr. Bate is making a copy of this report available to any fellow Member of The Bates Associa- tion for $200 on the condition (on their honor) that they limit distribution of the report to their family members or any fol- low up with the College of Arms and do not publish it on the Internet. Also, all proceeds will flow to The Bates Associa- tion after Dr. Bate has recovered his cost. Please contact Sandy if you are interested in purchasing a copy of this re- port. A NEW BATE(S) LINE, HENRY BATE OF ENGLAND

This is a nine generation line submitted by Dr. David Bate. He hopes that his family might link up with another Bate(s) line, partic- ularly if there is any missing information from England in the other lines that might tie up with his English records. Any infor- mation about related secondary lines (brother and sister lines) would also be appreciated.

As “The Bates Bulletin”, April 1911 (reprinted in “The Bates Bulletin”, Spring 2002) notes, the ‘Bates’ surname often finds its ori- gins in the ‘Bate’ surname: but Bate it was uniformly in the old English record and usually so in the New England records until about the time of the Revolution, when it comes to be quite uniformly Bates. This change from Bate to Bates follows a tendency which we see today to attach a final “s” to many names . . . .

1st GENERATION

HENRY BATE was born about 1702 and baptised on 12 November 1725 in Winwick, Lancashire, England. He died about 1778 and buried on 21 February 1778 at Winwick St Oswald, Lancashire, England (of Golborne, aged 76 years). He was a weaver.

He married Elizabeth Dowson on 4 January 1732 in Winwick St Oswald, Lancashire, England (by license). She was from Croft and he was from Lowton when married.

The Dowson surname has been confirmed at parish records. It is often misspelt or mistranscribed as Dawson.

They had seven children.

2nd GENERATION

Until 1732 there was no church in Lowton or Golborne. Worshippers had to travel miles to Winwick St Oswald, one of the oldest parishes in England, for services and ceremonies.

The building of a chapel was recommended to serve the townships of Lowton, Golborne and Kenyon in 1650. However, it took until 1731 for a ‘Chapel of Ease’ with an attaching school house to be erected with the consent of Peter Leigh, Lord of the Manor of Lowton. Built on land donated by Hugh Stirrup, yeoman of Lowton, the Chapel was consecrated on St Luke’s Day, 18 October 1733.

Margaret Bate was the first child of this family baptised at Lowton St Luke in 1735.

These are the known descendants of Henry Bate (1.1) and Elizabeth Dowson:

5.7.9.4 Two members of this generation - Henry Bate (5.7.9.4.2) and Isaac Bate (5.7.9.4.9) – are known to have emigrat ed to Canada during their lives. It is known that Henry Bate was in the United States in 1889 as his firstborn child, Isaac Bate (6.7.4.2.1) was born in the United States that year. Henry’s naming of his firstborn child after his younger brother suggests a strong familial bond. However, it is not known if Henry or Isaac travelled together or separately or at different times.

Death records are currently unfound for John Bate (5.7.9.4.5) which leaves the possibility that a middle brother may have emigrated.

These are the known descendants of John Bate (4.7.9.4) and Mary Ann Forster:

5.7.9.4.1 ALICE BATE was born about 1851 in Golborne, Lancashire, England and baptised on 8 June 1851 at Golborne St Thomas, Lancashire, England.

THE BATES ASSOCIATION FOUNDED IN 1907 THE BATES BULLETIN PAGE 155

In the 1901 Canadian census, he declares that he immigrated to Canada in 1889. His first son, Isaac, was born in Washington, USA in 1889.

A cursory search of passenger lists to Canada and the USA from England show a couple of possible matches but no ability to confirm identity.

Henry Bate married Martha Taylor. It is not known where or when they were married. It is known that she was born in England about 1852.

They had three children.

The family is listed as living in Nanaimo, British Columbia, Canada in the 1891 Census of Canada where Henry is listed as a labourer with his wife Martha Bate and son Isaac Bate.

They are known to be in Nanaimo in 1892 when Isaac Bate drowned that year. Henry is also listed as a labourer living on the East Side (Haliburton) in the Nanaimo Street Directory for 1892.

They are known to be in Nanaimo in 1894 as Henry Bate was born and died that year in Nanaimo.

The 1901 Census of Canada lists Henry as a farmer living in Nanaimo with his surviving son, John Bate. The two other children have died. He is listed as married but Martha is not shown on the Census records.

Neither Henry Bate, Martha (Taylor) Bate or John Bate appear in the 1911 Census of Canada.

John Bate, the surviving son, indicated that he was an orphan.

However, there are no death records for Henry Bate or Martha Bate (Taylor) in Canada, including British Colum- bia (and Nanaimo). There are no death records for either of them in the United States, including Washington State or the territories. They do not appear on the 1890 or 1900 Census of the United States. They do not ap- pear in the 1899 Census of Washington State and territories, They did not marry or divorce in Canada. They do not appear to return to England as no records can be found of either of them in any English census records. At present, they simply vanish.

THE YEAR WITHOUT A SUMM ER—1816 And how it affected our Ancestors. By Sandy Bates On April 11 & 12, 1815 an eruption of a Volcano took place on Mount Tambora. Located on the island Sum- bawa in Indonesia. It was the largest eruption in the past 10,000 years. At the time Mount Tambora was 13,000 feet high, after the eruption it was 9,353. The eruption was as powerful as six million atomic bombs. A sonic boom was heard 1,000 miles in all directions. Twelve thousand people lived on the island, after only 26 survived. People on nearby islands also perished from tidal waves, hurricane force winds, and tons of ash. Estimated that 90,000 people died from the effects. For 3 days there was total darkness from the ash within 100 miles. This created falling temps. This caused monthly frosts, and snow, all year long, and created a crisis in 1816 & 1817. Crops froze and failed and starvation occurred in western and northern Europe, where the effects were most severe. Price of grain and bread rose 4 to 5 times. Hay froze so cattle had to be slaughtered due to no feed. Riots took place in France & Germany. Deaths rose in Switzerland and southern Germany due to diseases caused from lack of eating properly. Malnutrition lowered resistance to typhus, smallpox, TB, dysentery, scurvy, and estimated 200,000 people died from these diseases. North America also had effects of the eruption in the year 1816. The New England states were hard hit, by the veil of dust. Temps dropped and caused a cold front from June 6 to June 11, 1816, causing frost five nights in a row. And six inches of snow. Freezing temps were noted on July 9, Aug. 21, and Aug. 30. This was at the time when many New England families decided to move West. Fifteen thousand people from VT moved and 42,000 people ar- rived in Indiana. In Ohio water froze and folks wore winter clothing all summer long. In 1817 many people left Switzerland and other countries to come to North America, due to high costs of living. So this shows how even a volcano eruption could upset the weather and crops, and cause many deaths. We can be thankful that our Ances- tors survived.
