General Notes: Child - Wilson GATES
Wilson was a bricklayer and glazier in 1791 and 1811. He was a builder in 1815. He owned Harrison's Farm, Trevanion St. Dover and built houses. In 1823-27 he was a bricklayer living at Trevanion Place Dover. From 1832-33 he was a bricklayer on Grubbins Lane, Dover. Thomasine died May 19, 1837 according to St. James Dover MI. Thomasine was bur. May 26, 1837 Hougham age 82 at St. James Dover. In 1838/39 Wilson was a grocer/tea dealer living at 1 Trevanion St. Dover. Pigot's 1839 Directory also shows Wilson as a livery stable keeper at 11 Trevanion St. Wilson was a grocer in 1841 living on Trevanion St. His daughter Susannah Nowers and her family were living with him. Wilson died Sept. 11, 1844 according to St. James Dover MI. He was bur. Sept. 16, 1844 age 86 in a vault in St. James Churchyard. Wilson left a Will (Canterbury Consistory Court Will Book 71 #94 Dover 1845)
Note: Trevanion Street was a narrow thoroughfare leading from St. James' Churchyard to the sea. At the seaward end of the street was Trevanion House. That was modern, but near its site, and extending over land on the cliff side northwards, was the mansion of John Trevanion who became a Dover resident and freeman in 1769 he died in 1810. At the time when the mansion of John Trevanion was in its glory (1774-1806), the land around it was pastoral, the area between Trevanion and Woolcomber Streets being occupied by Trevanion's "Home Farm", which later was called "Harrison's" and the last holder of it was Mr. Wilson GATES, who built on the site houses forming the west side of the seaward end of Trevanion Street. In 1822, part of the site of Trevanion's mansion was used by the Dover Gaslight Company.
Mr. Wilson Gates bought a strange dwelling built at the foot of the cliffs and partly in the cliffs, called Smith's Folly in 1844, which he took down and sold off the land as building plots.
Mr. Nowers had his premises in Trevanion St. purchased by the Dover Gas Light Company which adjoined his property.
In June and July 1973 gravestones were taken up and removed to make room for an access road to the Sports Centre car park. Included in these were the stones for Wilson Gates, Thomasine Gates, Edward Nowers, Elizabeth Nowers and Susanna Nowers.

I have John living in Hougham Kent in the 1851 census as a Blacksmith with wife Mary, Son John, and Daughter Jane the right ages. But that does not match with the below account...
In 1851 John was a tailor living on Victoria Row, Charlton Dover. His wife Ann was born c1801 Dover. In 1858 John Willson Gates was a tailor living on High St., Charlton. In 1861 John and his wife Ann lived at 20 High St., Charlton. In 1871 John was a tailor living at 7 Durham Hill, St. Mary Dover.
