Thread: Walter Porley b 1874 Essex

Am looking for parents of Walter Porley born circa 1874 Essex - I know he married a Martha ??? born circa 1880 also Essex. Can anyone help me with parents of Walter and, if possible, who Martha was and her parents. Walter and Martha had two children that I am aware of: Florence Mary born 1909 and Ethel May born 1910. Census searches have revealed quite a few Walter Porleys so identifying the right one is a nightmare



With many thanks for any help.



Kind regards Loupy

Hi,

I think this is the family in 1881

West Street, Dedham

Mary Porley 43 wife Layham, Suffolk

Jane Porley 13 dau Scholar Dedham, Essex

Agnes 10 dau Scholar Dedham

Walter Porley 7 son Scholar Dedham

George 2 son Dedham



No sign of the father though but he appears in 1891

RG12/1417/F27/p1

Ambrose Porley 67 Head Ag Lab Langham Suffolk

Mary Porley 64 Wife Langham

Walter Porley 17 Ag Lab Dedham

George Porley 12 son Errand Boy Dedham

Still living at West Street, Dedham



I can't find a marriage for Walter and Martha but here are the GRO refs for the two births. Either certificate will give you the mother's name and maiden name



Florence Mary Sep 1909 Colchester vol 4a p 783



Ethel M Sep 1910 Colchester vol 4a p 840



Hope this helps,

Hi

David and Noggin - your details are great - thank you so much. With this info I think I have now found Ambrose father as well.



Brilliant
