SCARBOROUGH Workhouse records

[AMCass]

Hi,
The two books of records I have transcribed date from1837 to 1845 and from 1853 to March 1858.  I cannot find any mention of Hugh or Hannah Procter in either book. This suggests that they didn't go into the workhouse until after that date but before the move in 1859.  There is however, a James Proctor, born 1777 who came into the workhouse on 23rd April 1840.  He was a sailor and a widdower and he had no work.  He died in the workhouse on 13 November 1853.

Hello Anita

Thank you for your reply.  Unfortunately the James Procter is not one of "mine" as my Procters did not move to Scarborough from Leeds until the mid 1800s.

Hi Ian

I am researching the Procter family for a member of my husbands family.  Her great great grandparents are Hugh Procter and Hannah Warriner (IGI marriage 24 Dec 1818 St Peter, Leeds).  I think Hugh Procter was the son of Henry Procter - is that the info you have?

The line I am researching follows with John Warriner Procter born 1826 (IGI christening 16 July 1826 St Peter, Leeds) who married Frances Masterman (IGI 1 July 1851 St Olave, York - Sept quarter 1851 York 23 753).  Frances died pre-1861 and John married Harriet dunn at Scarborough in 1862.  Their son, George Warriner Procter and his wife Eliza Jane Kilvington continues this line.

I have noted that Hugh and Hannah were resident in the Workhouse on Aberdeen Walk, Scarborough in 1861 and that Hannah died later that year.

I was wondering if you have any further information either on Hugh and Hannah's time in the workhouse or on Hugh's parents.

Regards

Hello Jess

I am descended from Hugh Procter b.1865 who was George Warriner's brother.  I have quite a lot of information on the Procter family after they arrived in Scarborough (which is where I originated).

I don't have any further information about Hugh & Hannah's time in the workhouse but I do have both their death certificates.  The only thing I know about Hugh is that he was the son of Henry Procter a weaver from Ulverston but have been unable to get any further back as I don't know the name of his wife.

I have quite a lot of information about William Procter (brother of John Warriner) including photographs of his son sent to me by one of his descendants in Australia.  I also have a photo of Sarah Ellen Procter (sister of Hugh & George Warriner) taken on her wedding day.  Does your relative have any family photographs?

Thank you for getting in touch.

Regards

Ian (Procter)

Hello Ian

Thanks for your reply.

I don't think my husband's relative has any photographs of the Procter family.  However, it is almost 2 years since she first asked me if I could find anything out about the family and I found my notes a few weeks ago when I was cleaning out my wardrobe!  I only started researching the family a week or so ago and haven't even spoken to her about my research so far.

Any info you have on the Procters would be very welcome - and photographs would be absolutely wonderful.  We will be visiting my husband's relatives this weekend so I will pass on all I have found out then and I will ask if she has any Procter family photographs.

I couldn't find Hugh Procter's death record on freebmd.org.uk.  When did he died?

Hello Jess

I have been working on the Procter tree for some years & have 5 A4 pages on my genealogy report on my Famliy Tree Maker file.  I am trying to decide what is the best way to send it to you without it all going onto rootschat.  I think it would be best if I had your email address and wonder if you could send it to me via private messages on this site.  Let me know what you think?

Hugh died in the workhouse on 11th July 1864.  Cause of death was Hepatic Disease.
