AAGGHH! Thanks greyghost, I didn't even notice the date.

David, it's 4 years since looby04 posted - you could try to send her a Personal message by clicking on her name. GR will notify her of your message to her, if she has the same email address as she registered with them. Then you have to hope she replies - many reasons why she might not.

There are a few mistakes. The name is Porter.

Albert J is married and is a Labourer (Cold air store and wharf)

His birth date could be 30 Jan 1893.


Oh and Alexander J is a METAL polisher!

i have also noticed looby04 that in the interest of recent tree lines, unsure how we might know each other but the grant line you posess as well relating to my tree... might be able to shed some light

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:

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! :-)

Porter Albert W.Ham 4a 660

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
