Marriage in 1914 Sept qtr at Worksop for Herbert G Proctor and Polly Brown, I dont have a date of birth for either of them.
Wondering if anyone could find me a census for them.
They had a son Frederick Leslie born 1915 at Worksop (killed in 1940)
Thank you if anyone can help

I am trying to see if Herbert is related to James E Proctor but cannot find a birth around Worksop for James E, he lived in Worksop or Retford and married in 1957 to Nadine Newcombe. Both are deceased now.

James E's marriage cert will name his father - if he knew him

When and where did he die?

Nadine was born 1937, so presumably James wasn't much older....................

IF James was connected to the above, it wasn't as a direct descendant

There was a post this morning on our information page asking if there was anyone living family or relatives of Frederick Leslie who was born in Worksop and as I knew of some family here I thought maybe they could be related. Thank you for this information which I can pass to the war graves website.
