I have recently discovered for certain that my grandfather whom I have never known was born in Douglas at 3 Back Hope Street. His name was John Edward Proud and was born on 4th Feb 1910. His father was called James Proud and his mother was Mary Hannah Proud (nee Gibson). I know nothing of the Isle of Man or any of this family's history. John Edward Proud came to the mainland and lived in Cheshire and Yorkshire. He died in 1992. Can anyone offer any information about this family? Thank you.
