Thomas Proctor and Mary Dales

[Redroger]

Thomas and Mary married at Alford Lincs on 18th April 1811. So far I have been unable to trace any children to the marriage. Can anyone help me please? I suspect that Thomas was not a native of Alford and that they may have moved away after the wedding.Mary seems to have been born there in 1784.

Was it not Henry PROCTER?

You will find a child bap only 4 days later

(and other possibilities in Horncastle)

Thanks Geoff. That makes a mess of the tree I was doing unless the wife he married in 1825 was into toy boys!

Geoff, Where did you find Henry please? Because I can't!

I'm surprised you didn't look here (top right) http://www.lincstothepast.com/Records/RecordDisplayTranscript.aspx?oid=508231&iid=26918

or here http://tinyurl.com/6jfke7w (submitted entry)

but I actually found it in my Lincs marriage index.

Geoff, I think we have a misunderstanding. it is the son I'm interested in, born 4 days after the wedding. I can't find him. Found the wedding on the Lincs to the past site.

Geoff, I think we have a misunderstanding.

Yes we do Roger.

You suggested the bridegroom was Thomas PROCTOR.  I said no, it was Henry who married.

The early child was Mary (dau of Henry and Mary PROCTOR, soldier) http://www.lincstothepast.com/Baptisms-and-burials/514984.record?ImageId=26820&pt=T

Looking at the register, 22 April was the birth date and 28 April the baptism.

Thanks for clearing that one up Geoff. I was for some inexplicable reason other than senility looking for henry as the son of Thomas.I am attempting to connect the Louth/Alford Proctors to those at Harmston. The fact the child was a girl destroys the entire theorem. It looked so good last night.
