Actually, forget that marriage. According to the IGI, Robert Proctor married Mary Ann Brown.

Its the Mormons site - familysearch.org -they have a large number of parish records but not all - Norfolk, for instance, refused to hand them over. Always check that the record is extracted rather than submitted as there are some horrendously inaccurate submissions from members on there.
