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.

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

Proctor's a common name...................

ErikaH

ErikaH Report 3 Feb 2026 11:42

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....................

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.
