I have an interest in Sproats of Northumberland, especially from the Netherwitton, Morpeth area. Whilst Lowingham Sproat is not connected to my family I have some info which may be of use to you.
Lowingham Sproat was the 5th son of Robert and Mary Sproat born about 1896 at Cleator Moor Cumbria. he was married to Jess Wood abt 1922. He had one daughter Margaret Ann.
Kelly's Directory of Newcastle 1950 shows :- Sproat L. district supt. British Railways (NER) Central Station Neville St. Newcastle 1.
Also lists Sproat, Lowingham 4 Fenwick Ter. 2 Jesmond 219.
Lowingham died about 1975
His daughter ( who supplied me with this information) died 16th July 2002. Her death notice was in the "Evening Chronicle" 20th July. It was also listed in the London Gazette 6 Dec 2002.
Hope this will be of some help to you
