Another question an a similar theme. How can I determine the number of individuals I have in a file on FTM 2005? I know it should be easy, but I cannot find how to do a count without physically counting. As I know there is in excess of 10,000, I don;t want to really do that!

Hi Genmouse,

I have a fairly detailed "Descendants of Archibald PORTEOUS" report. I can email it to you if you PM me your email address.

Unfortunately it does not go back further than Archibald b.1773, but if you have any additions of amendments, I would be most interested.

Hi,

I have a one name study database (PORTEOUS) and therefore am always interested in any information on Porteous family members.

I have a Henry Bowes PORTEOUS married to Anne THOMPSON. I wonder whether you might share any information you have on Henry with me?

Many thanks,
Derek Porteous

Hi,

Regretfully, I do not think there is a direct connection.

Charles Porteous was the youngest child of eight, all brought up in the Middlebie area. As far as I can see there is no connection.

Many thanks for trying.

Have you any other details of the family in the 1881 census?
Regards
Derek Porteous

Hi gadget,

Did you check out Susan Hastings PORTEOUS? If you did, I would be very interested in her details (mum and dad's detailes would be good)

Regards,
Derek

Cumberland / PORTEOUS/PORTUS Longtown
« on: Sunday 02 November 08 10:08 GMT (UK)  »
I am looking for any information on the PORTEOUS/PORTUS family living in the Longtown, Cumberland area.

In particular I have George PORTEOUS, a barber, who was born in Longtown about 1817. He moved to Dumfries and married a local girl, Mary RICHARDSON, in 1837.

I have tenuous links that George’s family lived in the Wellknowe Rigg, Kirklinton/ Arthuret area as far back as 1715 (then called PORTUS), but anything to flesh this out would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
