Notes:

Does not appear to be the Blacksmith listed in the 1841 and 1851 census. Other than the occupation difference which is significant there is the issue of his son John who is listed with his Grandfather in those censuses so wouldn't be with his parents.

(Research):Likely match in 1841 with birth date of 1811 Tailor but not with family

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.

Notes:

In the 1861 census the best match is a man in the Royal Navy, it is possible it is him as he may not have been married yet anyway. But it could also be Edward William Gates 1836

In 1862 they lived at Lamberwell Middlesex. In 1870 he was a deacon at Castle Street Congregationalist Church, Exeter. Edward Wilson Gates, draper, was one of the original trustees of Southernhay. In 1871 he was a silk mercer living at 9 Peamore Terrace, St. David Parish, Exeter, Devon. Two servants were living with them.

He was more widely known for other activities. In 1883 he retired from the family business. He left to undertake philanthropic work with the London Congregational Union and later also with a group called the Self-Help Emigration Society (which helped poor families migrate to Canada). I have a number of obituaries published at the time of his death which outline these activities.

On June 6 1944 LCT 947 was landing on Sword Beach and had the first Officer to be killed in the landings aboard at the time.

https://sites.google.com/site/frimleyandcamberley/frimley-and-camberley-2nd-world-war-1939---1945-memorial/arthur-dennis-bradford-cocks-1904---1944

Arthur was Killed in the Action during the assault on Sword Beach, D-Day, gaining the distinction of being the first British Officer Killed in the Landings.

On D-Day Arthur was Lieutenant-Colonel of the 5th Assault Regiment Royal Engineers. They were a specialist unit equipped with converted vehicles such as the so called 'Hobart's Funnies' intended to clear the beaches and make exits onto the first inland road.

Arthur was aboard LCT-947 (109) which carried 2 Crabs and 4 A.V.R.E (converted Churchill tanks) which he Commanded from the A.V.R.E named Plough. An account given by Lambton Burn a Lieutenant with the Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve who was aboard LCT-947 wrote the following;

" Shells are bursting all round. They are not friendly shorts from bombardment warships, but vicious stabs from an enemy who has held his fire until the final two hundred yards. He is shooting well shooting often. Mortar shells whine and burst with sickening inevitability. An L.C.T. to port goes up in flames.

There is a sudden jerk as our bows hit the beach. Down goes the ramp, with Sub-Lieutenant Monty Glengarry, R.N.Z.N.V.R. [Royal New Zealand Navy Volunteer Reserve] and his party working like madmen at the bows.

There is a roar of acceleration and Donald Robertson in Stornoway [the first Crab, which managed to disembark] is away like a relay runner.

Dunbar [the second Crab] moves forward. Colonel Cocks leans from his turret [he had elected to command from the Plough] and motions the other tank-commanders to follow. But enemy fire is now concentrated on us. There are bursts on both sides and then snap two direct hits on our bows followed by a third snap like a whip cracking over the tank hold.

The First Lieutenant is flung sideways against a bulkhead and lies stunned. Dunbar stops in her tracks slews sideways blocks the door. Another and greater explosion as the bangalore shafts of Barbarian [the Log Carpet A.V.R.E., with Captain Fairie in command] explode with a flash of red.

Colonel Cocks is killed as he stands, and there is a scream from within his tank. Cold with anger, Tom Fairie moves Barbarian forward tries to edge Dunbar to the ramp but fails. He vaults from his turret and is joined by other tank-men who strain furiously to bring chain and tackle to bear."

The badly damaged LCT-947 (109) made a difficult return to England where the troop vehicles and survivors were transferred to another LCT, eventually reaching Normandy later in the month.

Mk4 LCT 947(i) [15] was 'Leader' of the 45th LCT(AVRE)(j) Flotilla assigned to the 5th Assault Regiment, Royal Engineers. Only one tank managed to disembark LCT 947 that morning. The second tank in line carried Commander Royal Engineers, Lt Col ADB Cocks. As the tank moved forward, the LCT took three direct hits in her bows. The tank lurched sideways and stopped in its tracks, blocking the exit. Despite frantic efforts by engineers and the forecastle party, it proved impossible to move the tank out of the way, so the remaining tanks on board could not disembark. A greater explosion soon followed, when pipes packed with dynamite on board a neighbouring AVRE 'Carpet
