The son of John Wind Coates senior, he was born in February 1828 at Stokesley, Yorkshire.[1] He served in the North York Rifle Regiment of Militia, being commissioned with the rank of lieutenant. He was promoted to the rank of captain in September 1854,[2] before being promoted to the rank of second major in June 1859.[3] Coates made a single appearance in first-class cricket for a combined Durham and Yorkshire cricket team against Nottinghamshire at Stockton-on-Tees in 1858.[4] Batting twice in the match, Coates was dismissed for 7 runs in the Yorkshire and Durham first-innings by Cris Tinley, while in their second-innings he was dismissed by the same bowler for a single run.[5] He died at Scarborough in July 1870. At the time of his death, he ran a business smelting iron ore in partnership with John George Swan.[6]
