There is an anc tree that says Mary J Porter born 17 July 1907 in  Clay, County Down, Ireland   passed away 24 Feb 1958 in  Tucson, Arizona. Married to Glover Boyd - born 1 July 1892 in  Kilworthy, Morrison Twp, Muskoka, Ontario  passed away 7 February 1986 in  Owen Sound, Ontario. (Appears Glover or Edwin Glover was married previously and also remarried after the death of Mary in 1958)
The couple had a son - Howard O Boyd born 29 Jan 1935 in Toronto, York Twp, York Co, Ontario, Canada passed away 21 Dec 1977 in  Vancouver, British Columbia.

The parents of Susan and Mary Porter were Benjamin Porter and Margaret - anc tree gives Margaret's maiden name as Gratten 

There was a marriage for a Benjamin Porter and Maggie Crieghton  - 1896 - Lisburn - Page 969 -
Lisburn is a city in Northern Ireland -  It is southwest of Belfast, on the River Lagan, which forms the boundary between County Antrim and County Down. So the marriage is in the right area.


Coincidentally one of the children of Robert James Adams and Susan Elizabeth Porter used Creighton as a middle name - Earl Creighton Adams. Born 16 September 1930 in  Toronto, Ontario, Canada passed away 14 March 2005 in  Toronto, Ontario.

There should be an obit - Earl Creighton Adams  74 years - Toronto Star; 2005-03-16*JB
