Searching for info on Tates and Whittles, in particular Family of Gmelin Tate born in northumberland, then lived in Ford son of William tate born around 1811. Married mary ann whittle. daughter of Issac Whittle a shoe maker. Please e-mail me asap!! Gmelin although is his forename I know is actually a German surname though if there is a German connection I don't know where or how far back, his mothers maiden name perhaps? He also named his son, my g-g-grandfather the same.
