PORTER and associated families

1) 1881 Census records

Here are just a few sample entries from the 1881 census. Still not much actual stuff - but just a little to tempt you with ...

Walter William Porter's mob
Note that the transcriber couldn't read Walter's middle initial - it seems a long way from
'L or E' to W, but you haven't seen how strange some of the letters can look!
