| Notes |
- About 6 years ago I met one of his last surviving g.grandchildren (Clara Howarth aged 90 -who has since died). At the time her memory was still good and amongst the things she told me was that John Procter had been forced to give up his skilled occupation as a hatter due to his contracting asthma from inhaling the chemicals used in the trade (this was in fact a known hazard of the occupation - the same chemicals could also affect brain function, hence the expression 'Mad as a Hatter'). When this happened John was too old to train for another skilled job, so he was reduced to becoming a labourer in the Phoenix Iron Works in Lancaster.
