RESEARCH NOTES:
- Emily was likely born to Catherine and her first husband - last name not known.

NOTE: Her mother Catherine died in 1871 and her step-father Lewis Richardson was remarried to Malinda Jane; Is Jane the same as Malinda J from his gravestone?
Son Henry and daughter Catherine are still there, and perhaps Emma was Emily? although Emily likely married in 1879 - that might explain the baby Proctor (age 1 mo) but not why they recorded with her maiden name (enumerator error?). With a baby Proctor in the household, they’ve got to be related at least ...

Louis Edward is also a cheese manufacturer.
Another cheese maker Richardson in Canada. Where Australian Richardsons became farmers and their sons diversified, several Canadian Richardsons have kept up cheese making.

I think we can track the cheese making in these branches of the Canadian Richardson family back to Henry Proctor Richardson and his roles as game keeper in great houses.

In these houses, dairying and cheese making was women's work, and there is a high probability that the Richardson wives and daughters were employed in the cheese rooms and dairies of possibly the Kentish household, and almost certainly the Norfolk one. They would have produced cheese for the household as a mainstay of feeding agricultural workers and their families. It is not hard to imagine either mothers or sisters showing sons and brothers how to make cheese, nor that it should become a trade over time in the different Canadian setting where aristocratic and gentry estates with dependent labour forces were unusual. The demand for cheese from people used to it forming a significant part of their protein intake is also easy to imagine.

Henry Proctor's descendants are cheese makers over generations in Prince Edward Island and three localities in Ontario.
