Thank you all for your searches.
I am not to sure of how to get around Rootschat anymore, it has changed so much.
Wivenhoe. Yes I have that information. Elizabeth was on Electrol roll as PORTER as well as at her death and burial. Thanks but still no marriage. William Henry, the youngest child died in France in WW1. Linda had a son Robert then later married Robert S Jones and moved to Sydney suburbs.
Son not on BDM Robert Porter b 1881 Wagga, died 8/12/1906 in hospital Wagga. Two days after his father James PORTER d. 6/12/1906 at home Docker St,Wagga. They were both buried in Ch of E Cometary Wagga.The Wagga Advertiser has burial notices 10/12/1906. There are no birth registrations for Benjamin PORTER b 1863 but he did indeed exist. James PORTER listed himself as goldminer on Hellen's birth certificate 26/2/1862, so maybe the family was moving around before settling into Wagga and his brickmaking business down by the river. All of the rest of the children born Wagga Wagga.
majm..I think Ann may have died in childbirth 1875 daughter Mary Therese was born then and the last listed child of Ann and James. Then four years later Elizabeth gives birth to John b 1879 James PORTER father. Wagga. Followed by Robert in 1881 Wagga, then Eleanor Belmore in 1883 Wagga then Linda Lillian b 1889 Wagga and last William Henry in 1893 Wagga.
All 13 children from Hellen down to William Henry are named and ages at the time of the death certificate of James PORTER are listed correctly. The thing is the Place of marriage, age and to whom column lists Albury,NSW age 28 yrs. Ann McCaffery. (different spelling) Not a mention of Elizabeth on the certificate at all. Interesting thing William Henry Jones is listed as witness to burial. I'm wondering if he is Elizabeth's father or brother as he was listed in the newspaper as pall bearer.Her youngest son was named William Henry and on her death notice says her fathers name was William. The Electrol roll you found lists all the older children of James and Elizabeth, not the two youngest as not old enough.
Dundee.. Yes they all stayed with James until marriage or death. I wonder if Elizabeth came into their lives as a domestic, because Hellen would have been only 13 in 1875.
Thank you everyone for your efforts, I hope I have done this corerectly.
