Omg! Thank you so much Flip. That's a great bit of info! :0)

I think Jax's death is correct - here is his probate:

Albert James Porter
Probate Date: 14 Mar 1962
Death Date: 12 Jan 1962
Death Place: London, England
Registry: London, England

States of 100 High Road E10, admin to Arthur Leonard Porter (painter) and Alexander John Porter (metal polisher). Effects £615 8s

Thanks so much for helping me, Jax!
I really appreciate you doing all that research.
I will try to get hold of the marriage certificate to see if I can confirm some of your findings. I'll keep you posted!
Many thanks! :-)

Hello all,

Really stuck on this. Dorothy & Albert were married just after the 1911 census, and because their children (one of which was my Grandad Alexander) were born after this time, I can't be sure that the people I have found with the same names and birth dates are actually them.
I know very little about them, but I've listed what I know below:
Albert James Porter, b.1893 in West Ham, London. d. in Leyton. My Uncle's Tree states that Albert was a Dockworker / Meat Porter in later life.
Dorothy Johnson, b.1892. I think her middle initial might be L.

Can anyone advise how I might be able to verify the individuals I have found so far?

Many thanks, Looby
