Kent Completed Lookup Requests / Re: THE PORT FAMILY OF HERNE BAY AREA- 1851 lookup request
« on: Friday 18 March 05 23:44 GMT (UK)  »
Hi Grey  Squirrel,

Thankyou for the two web pages, that was a nice find.   I see on the Reculver baptisms that Ross was christened John Thomas,
he was definately registered as Ross in Dec qtr 1847 as I looked at the page on 1837online, I wonder why they did that!  I found a John Port on the 1881, 1891 and 1901 census living at Southampton working as a ships painter, says hes from Herne Bay and the age is about right.  I don't always believe the ages given on the census as they quite often rounded up or down especially with children.  My James Port must have been born about the same time as yours, do you know who your James's father is?
Its possible mine was christened in Herne Bay as he says he is from Hillsborough, Herne, but I don't know the lie of the land in Kent so not sure how far places are apart.   If I find out anything which might be of interest to you I will post it here, meanwhile happy hunting..

Hi Greysquirrel ;D

Nice to hear from you, have to say I spent a couple of evenings trying to find Ross, Randall and Albert in all available census on Ancestry with no luck.  There's not too many Ross's about in the 1800's, where did she get that from! All I did find was the registration of Alberts birth on 1837online, he was Albert Adolphus Morris Port, poor man he probably called himself John to get his own back.  When I looked for Fred Port in 1881 I found him as Fred Post, so they could be somewhere.  Harriet Port was with her daughter Fanny (mary jane) Hancock in 1881.  James Port seems to have died young possibly 1853.  What I want to find out is which family of Ports James belongs to, it could be a William and Sarah, or there was a Randall first married to a Frances then to a Sophia, and as Harriet called her daughter by 2 of these names, and her son by one, I'm thinking it could be them.  Which Port were you interested in?

Hi,

I'm sorry I only have transcripts,  the age difference could be a transcription error, although that means they got 2 wrong, Elizabeth may have told her husband she was younger than she was, as women do,  I've rechecked and there is no one else in Dorset that fits the bill.

 Hi,

 Thankyou for your info, have had a look around my PORT stuff, on Ancestry and the Vital records etc but can't find a Hannah to suit the bill, I see she married a Silk, but you already know that.  Looks like we are both looking for an elusive James Port.  My interest is in Frederick Port, I'm doing my sister-in-laws tree and can  now trace her back as far as 1851 thanks to your help.  ;D
