Thanks everyone for you help. It never even occurred to me that he was a Proudfoot. I was led to believe that he was a Roper.

Just a thought but, as they did not marry until 1891, have you checked under the name Proudfoot? Sue:-)

Bertie J Roper - born c 1890 in Docking (apparently). Father's name was John Roper. Have tried looking under John too, but nothing registered under Docking.
