Brian Proctor 1936-1996

[Andro93]

       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?

[Andro93]

   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.

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.
