Carlow / Re: Mac Nish Porter
« on: Thursday 25 July 19 17:14 BST (UK) »
According to my research, Colonel Robert Myles MacInish (sometimes McNish) Porter was born in Enfield on 17th October 1914. His mothers maiden name seems to have been Gordon. His sister Faith C Porter was born in 1918.
He joined the Royal Marines. After the war, he lived in Carlow in Ireland and became a pal of my grandfather, Lord Rathdonnell, but he left for reasons unclear circa 1948,. We know little more of his Carlow connection save that he lived near the Rathgall Ringfort and had 224 acres at Rath 2½miles E. of Tullow claimed by Land Commission in 1958 - http://historical-debates.oireachtas.ie/D/0168/D.0168.195806100030.html …
I think the Colonel’s other half was Margaret M Childerstone, born in Bedford in Sept 1915, daughter of Henry Mansfield Childerstone and his wife Harriette Mary Fry.
I am interested to know what brought him to Carlow.
