Title: Brian Proctor 1936-1996
Post by: Andro93 on Thursday 31 March 11 19:24 BST (UK)

       Brian Proctor was a friend of mine, a fellow rail enthusiast of many years ago who worked for a long time at Ruston Gas Turbines in Lincoln. He was born in Lincoln in October 1936 and his mother's maiden name was Hughes. In 1924 Joseph Proctor married Amy A Hughes in Lincoln and in 1926 Frank Proctor married Alice S Hughes, also in Lincoln. Curiously, Amy and Alice are sisters and I have not been able yet to determine whether Brian's father was Joseph or Frank. If anyone knows, it would help me in tracing his Proctor ancestors,

Andrew, I assume you have checked whether the two Proctor fathers were related?

   Redroger,

           No, but I will look them up when I'm at the Family History Centre, to see if their mothers have the same surname. By the way I discovered that Gustave Feuvrier may have come from Besancon, nr the Swiss border. This is only a possibility,

Thanks for that Andrew, the watch/clock makers extended across the frontier obviously. Something I have in common with him if he is the right one, I passed through Besancon on the way to Italy some years ago. Can't say much about it, it was dark at the time. :D

Joseph Proctor and Amy Ann Hughes were my grandparents so I can reassure you that Brian was not the son of Joseph.  Did Brian live on portland Street.

There is a tree online that has him as the son of Frank and Alice.
