This is probably the supposed death for Mary Jane, in the Ancestry tree mentioned by Sylvia:

Deaths Jun 1944
Proctor Mary J 74 Amounderness 8e 534

FreeBMD says the page number is not within the range expected for the district.
However, Amounderness includes Cuerdon and Walton-le-Dale.

Wikipedia says:

Lostock Hall traces its origins to James de Lostock who in 1212 built Lostock's Hall in the then rural area of Cuerden Green in the township of Walton-le-Dale. A settlement expanded outwards from Lostock's Hall, taking its name from the Hall.

Is this Robert Henry in 1901?

from lancs bmd, they married at Christ Church ...........

PROCTOR Emanuel James WHALLEY Martha Alice Blackburn, Christ Church (with St Matthew) Blackburn CE4/3/3

Re the 1911 Census posted by malyon ....... ancestry has transcribed this as Procton
but the image is Proctor

The image shows they have been married 4 years, with no children
.

I do note that Albert's brother Robert had a middle name which is not shown on this census

This looks like their marriage, from Freebmd .........

Albert Proctor
in the U.S., Social Security Applications and Claims Index, 1936-2007
Name: Albert Proctor
Gender: Male
Race: White
Birth Date: 18 Feb 1880
Birth Place: Blackburn, United Kingdom
Father: Emanuel Proctor
Mother: Mary Miller
SSN: 477057020
Notes: Mar 1937: Name listed as ALBERT PROCTOR

They don't appear to have had any children, Leslie - at least not in England or Wales.

There are two Proctor/Hacking boys born in Burnley, 1913 and 1922, but they will be the sons of another Proctor / Hacking couple who married in Burnley in 1908.


EDIT:
Correction - they did have at least one child - see page 3.
