Looking for any information on my grandfather Edward Charles Bates. He married Laura Irene Evans, daughter of Elijah Asbury Evans. He died October 26, 1930 in Montgomery, AL. He is mentioned as being married in Lavaca County, or Colorado County, TX. There has to be a trail of him in Texas but I can find nothing. All I have is his death certificate which says he was born in Greenwich, CT. The certificate does not list his birthdate but states he was 64 when he died. He and his family, Laura Irene Evans Bates, Edward C. Bates, Evans Bates, Dorothy Bates lived in Tampa, Florida around 1924. He was a lawyer, judge and sold realestate during his life at some time. If you can help please e-mail me at Oldmedic@aol.com or make post. Thanks, Jerrie
