	This is the nearest death I can find:- Name: Hugh Proctor Estimated birth year: abt 1867 Year of Registration: 1895 Quarter of Registration: Oct-Nov-Dec Age at Death: 28 District: Barnsley County: Yorkshire - West Riding Volume: 9c Page: 138 However this would mean that Hugh was not Benjamin's father. I think you will need Benjamin's birth certificate to see if a father is named on it. He could have been illegitimate. Kath. x

	don't forget, the child of a married woman was considered to be the son of her husband, even if he was dead. I think the longest interval that I have seen between death of husband and birth of a child with his surname was 10 years! sylvia

Member Since: February 2018 Posts: 1 Send Message	Hi, My Dad’s great grand father was Abel Green and his grand mother was Lizette. He had an uncle Ben the brother of his mother , who was Amy. So maybe I am related to your husband. Gill

	Welcome to the boards, Gill. Unfortunately you have replied to an old thread (2011), and Carole won't be looking here for replies now. You can try contacting her by sending a private message (just click on her name at the top of her post.) If she has kept her email address updated with GR, they will send her an email to tell her there's a message from you in the system. She may (or may not) then be able to read it, and reply. Good luck!
