Who registered Levi's death?

Ditto Ella's?

Was Levi your father? If he was, your step-brother's surname could not have been Bates

There are no Gordon/Oldfield births after 1933

All those different surnames imply that Ella was married before, but she was probably living with Levi for a while as she was also known as Bates.

Are you sure Gil was a Bates? Could his name be Gilbert? What exactly did the funeral notice say?

I am looking for the son of Levi and Ella Bates called Gil Bates. I think Gil was born c. 1953 so will be about 60 years old now. I do not know where Gil was born or where he lives, all I know is he married to Eileen and their children are called Rachel & Paul. I only know this because I found my fathers funeral notice in the Manchester Evening News when he died in Manchester Royal Hospital on the 28.12.72.
