Wow - I think we are the same generation line, and your wife and I are cousins!!!

George was my great great grandfather.  My great grandfather was John Porter and his daughter Margaret Porter married John Woodburn - my grandfather.

My sister's middle name is Rubina - and we have always thought they had mixed 2 aunts names together (Ruby & Bina), however they may have also used Robina's name aswell.

Looking forward to seeing the connections

Oops

In my excitement forgot to actually confirm yes it is the same John Porter 1853 born Canada (North America according to the census!!).

Thanks

Wonderful news.  I have just started researching this branch of my family.
I recently spent a couple of days at the new Burns Centre in Kilmarnock, Ayrshire looking up the Porter Family and obtaining John P's death certificate, but only got as far back as George and Robina.

Look forward to receiving any further information especially about their life in Canada.

Now very excited!!!!

Hi all
Descendants of George and Robina Porter from Mauchline, Ayr, Scotland

I have just started researching the porter family, and am now quite excited at finding someone who seems to have some information about them going to Canada.  Any knowledge would be most helpful i.e. where in Canada was John Porter born?  He married Elizabeth Clelland on 1st Oct 1875, Clelland Park, Mauchline, and then married a Mary McQueen.
