Lincolnshire / Re: Portas/Porter and Tyson Family

It seems to be in the same general area of Lincolnshire as the places you mention (East Lindsey district).
South Willingham is about twenty miles west of Mablethorpe, and eighteeen miles or so north-west of Skendleby.
Strangely, there is a record of a later Portus family in Ulceby (only a stone's throw from Skendleby) - Robert Portus (1861-1925).
There may be no connection, but from the migration point of view, there appears to be a small cluster of Portas/Portus around here.
