PORTER family and Royalty
« on: Thursday 09 September 10 19:17 BST (UK) »
Has anyone researching their Porter ancestors in Wiltshire come across this family story?

I was told that my Porter ancestors: Albert b. 1861; Elijah b. 1818 and William b. 1777/8, all from the Porton, Idmiston, Winterbourne Earls, Wiltshire area were related to King Charles I.

I think the story has been exaggerated as it has been passed down through the generations. From my research it is more likely that these Wiltshire Porters are related to Endymion Porter of Mickleton, Gloucestershire, who was Groom of the Bedchamber of King Charles I.

I would love to hear from other Wiltshire/Gloucestershire Porter family researchers and I am also more than happy to help anyone with their Porter family research.
