Mawson and Proctor, Yorkshire UK and India, mid 18thC.
Can anyone give me any details of a relationship between a Mawson family and a Proctor family?
I am investigating whether there is a link between William Proctor Mawson, b. 1 Nov 1847, Calcutta, India, son of John Mawson and Mary Ann Cropley, and George Proctor Mawson, b.abt 1864, Mexborough, Yorkshire, England, son of Charles Mawson and Sarah. The only connection is the middle name Proctor, which could show a family connection. I believe that John Mawson came from the Wath/Mexborough area before going to India. Any information appreciated.
