Hi Cousin - Edward Porter is my 4x GGF my line is from his son James. I have been asking all the same questions about Edward and the connection between Blackley and Coventry as the others sons born in Coventry then go back to Blackley to marry etc. James goes the opposite way moving from Manchester to Coventry to weave Ribbons. The comments about there being marines in manchester is very interesting and would be great to see if there is any more info.
I am also curious about Edward's birth as there are a number of possibilities - i favoured the one in Plymouth son of a soldier as I thought military background plus right area to join in Portsmouth. Why do you think the Hereford birth?
