Me too!

I assume Les thought this other Albert was Emanuel's son because Emanuel's son is the only one who shows up in earlier censuses with approx. that YOB in Blackburn..

I'm afraid that I am now completely lost as to who we're really looking for!

well, this looks like Albert Proctor born 1908, mother Elizabeth in the 1939 Register ........

it says he is married, but there is no wife with them

Albert Proctor 10 Aug 1908 Married Fruit Buyer & Fruit Salesman
Elizabeth Proctor 13 Apr 1883 Widowed Housekeeper

Elizabeth is Head of the house, so Albert and Arthur are living at home.

I'm not seeing an Albert Proctor born c1882 in Blackburn with father William in pre-marriage censuses.

Nor even with only a mother, depending on when his father died.

Well, I do look young for my age, I must admit, Les!

However, I don't quite understand your comments.

Albert, with parents Emanuel and Mary (Emanuel's first wife), went to the USA - see records posted earlier. (25th May, 21:19 )
But you're talking about a different Albert, with parents William and Elizabeth ?? Who's he?

You also say:
."....I wonder where the kids went???"

What kids? We haven't found any record of children.
Do you have names for any children of Albert and Mary Jane?


EDIT:
Sorry, just read your post properly.

so we've been looking for the wrong Albert? He's not Emanuel's son?

Argyll11Gran....You are right about Mary Jane Hacking's death at Lostock Hall Blackburn.....I wonder where the kids went???
Julies grandfather was ALBERT PROCTOR b 4/1908 Blackburn mrd 6/1932 to MARIE CARROLL b 3/1905 Dundalk Ireland...It's his parents I'm stuck on...
Thanks a million for your assistance so far...
By the ,,ArgyllGran??? I thought all the Argyll women were looking to young to be Gran's....
Only one part of Scotland more beautiful..Further north from Rosehall right up to Tongue and Melvich...My favourite part of the UK.. Regards....LES...

Thanks for your help on my PROCTOR search,,re Albert mrd Mary Jane Hacking..The other Albert Proctor was born also but was christened at St Marys Blackburn..It was this one,, whos father was William Proctor and mrd Elizabeth Fletcher,,that went to USA...Oh well!!!!Keep searching.....Regards...LES...

It is really beginning to look as though Albert and Mary married, then split up some time before June 1906 when Albert left for Canada
