Early Life
Bates was born as Margaret Dwyer in County Tipperary, Ireland in 1859. Her mother, Bridget (née Hunt), died of tuberculosis on 20 December 1862. Her father married Mary Dillon on 21 September 1864 and died en route to the United States, so Bates was raised, by relatives, in Roscrea and educated at the National School in the town.
