Looking for my gr gr grandfathers birth. All I have is born 1832,Shropshire, fathers name Benjamin. Mother not known but might be Hellen. He went to Australia on ship Mooltan in 1854. James was a brickmaker.

Have you got him on a census in 1841/1851? 

There won't be a birth certificate as such that far back

I cant find any James Porter c 1832 Shropshire on 1841/1851 Census.

When/where did he marry?
Is his Father as Benjamin from the M/C?

Do you have his Australian Marriage and Death Certs?

[gidget37]

There are no detail on his marriage or death certificates, only age 28 in May 1861, and batchelor and England. His daughter filled out his death details, with father Benjamin and place of birth Shropshire. That is why this is so hard.
Thanks everyone for trying. He was in Australia for the 1861 Census.

Good luck with this.
I did notice your query on the Australian Board also.
