Welcome to Rootschat. You need to make a couple more posts so that people can contact you via Private Message, as RC doesn't allow the names of living people or those who may be living to be mentioned.

You might be better asking for this to be moved to the Australia board. However I think Australia does have very strict privacy laws which may hinder any look ups.

Did your father marry in England?

Second marriage 1948 Blackpool.

Isn't the OP looking for step siblings in Australia rather than information about her father's family here?

If the marriage posted is your parents, I can see another Porteus child born in 1941 whose mother's maiden name was Hardie
