I am looking for proudmores especially those that have links with Cheshire/Staffordshire and Yorkshire. I have reason to believe originally they were land labourers that migrated to Staffordshire and then became miners. When the work in the staffordshire coal fields went quiet they would move across the country to the wombwell area of Yorkshire, my mother was born there in 1926. She vagely remembers family over there by the name of Ferneyhough.
If anyone can help I would be over the moon this is the only branch of my tree that has run into a brick wall.
