However, as far as I can understand, Les isn't interested in this family!

It's the family of Albert 1908 with father William that he wants.

But the addiction does tend to kick in.

Mildred married in 1955, to the surname shown in 1939 register.

They were both on ER for Lostock Hall, 2003-8.

Her husband probably died 23 Aug 2012.

They had possibly four children born in Amounderness reg district.

Probable death of Elsie's husband Joseph:

Elsie Hayhurst

Aha!

I think Elsie Hayhurst (DOB 15 June 1905), in the 1939 record for Mary Jane, is Elsie Proctor.

In 1939, she's married, and Mildred is her child.

Marriages Dec 1928 (>99%)
Hayhurst Joseph Proctor Blackburn 8e 658
Proctor Elsie Hayhurst Blackburn 8e 658


Births Mar 1934 (>99%)
Hayhurst Mildred (mms Procter) Blackburn [ref nos deleted in case she's still alive)


1939 says Mildred's DOB is [deleted - but in 4th qr) 1934, but there are so many mistakes in the 1939 Register. Perhaps her birth was actually [date in 4th qr ] 1933.


Elsie may have had another daughter in 1938, Amounderness. - but she's not with them in 1939, and there's no closed record.
I don't see a death 1938-9.

I had checked for Proctor/Hacking births - but only on FreeBMD.

As mentioned on page 1, that only showed Harry and Sidney in Burnley (1913 & 1922), but I assumed they were the children of the 1908 Burnley couple.

FreeBMD doesn't show any of those other births you found on GRO, Sylvia;, which is why I thought (on page 1) there were no children of the marriage.

Hmmm - Elsie - I'll have a look for her.

Haven't yet found Mary Jane in 1911, either.

Nor 1891 or 1901, for that matter.

ADDED:

No, can't see Elsie anywhere.

I can't find baptisms or burials for the other children, not can I find Elsie on the 1911 Census

now to see what I can find on censuses with the children!

Albert Proctor
in the British Army WWI Service Records, 1914-1920
Name: Albert Proctor
Gender: Male
Birth Date: abt 1880
Enlistment Age: 35
Marriage Date: Aug 1901
Marriage Place: St Johns Church Blackburn
Document Year: 1915
Residence Place: 11 Richmond Hill, Blackburn
Regimental Number: 38121
Number of Images: 2
Form Title: Short Service Attestation
Family Members:
Name Relation to Soldier
Albert Proctor Self (Head)
Elizabeth Fletcher Spouse
Thomas Proctor Child
Joseph Proctor Child
Lily Proctor Child
Albert Proctor Child
Arthur Proctor Child


On 9 Dec 1915, he says his age is 35 yrs 1 month - which would make his birthday in November 1880.
No mention of parents in that document, of course, as his NOK is Elizabeth..

EDIT:
On a medical examination page -
examination on 5 Sept 1916. Age 35 yrs 10 months - which matches the above.

Blind in right eye, but not sufficient to cause rejection from Army.

Death of Albert 1908's father??

Albert Proctor
in the England & Wales, Civil Registration Death Index, 1916-2007
Name: Albert Proctor
Death Age: 52
Birth Date: abt 1882
Registration Date: Dec 1934
Registration district: Blackburn
Inferred County: Lancashire
Volume: 8e
Page: 349

Marriage of Albert 1908's older brother Thomas:

Thomas Proctor
in the Lancashire, England, Church of England Marriages and Banns, 1754-1936
Name: Thomas Proctor
Gender: Male
Age: 20
Birth Year: abt 1903
Event Type: Marriage
Event Date: 8 Jan 1923
Parish: Blackburn, St John, Lancashire, England
Spouse: Harriet Green
Spouse Age: 21
Father: Albert Proctor - fruit salesman <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
Spouse Father: James Green - deceased, fireman
Register Type: Parish Register


So it looks as if Thomas's father was still around in 1923 - so can't be Emmanuel's son .
Anyway, Emmanuel's son went to the USA approx. 1906 - and Albert 1908 hadn't been born.

Just to try to make sense of it -

Albert (father Wiliam) and Elizabeth Fletcher married in Sept qr of 1901.

Albert (father Emmanuel) and Mary Jane Hacking also married in Sept qr of 1901.

Mary Jane's marriage broke down somehow, and her Albert went to USA.

Bigamy could be a reason - father's name given as William as a smoke-screen ??

But it seems a bit much, even for a bold bigamist, to marry two women almost simultaneously!

I knew I was going wrong somewhere!!!


I'm just going round in circles


unless someone lied?
