Amos Porter - Cramlington, Northumberland, UK
« on: Tuesday 01 March 22 16:49 GMT (UK) »
Hello,

I'm in need of some help to find out some information on an ancestor of mine.

Amos Porter (B: 1888 Cramlington, Northumberland) who moved to the US in 1912 then married a Cora Estelle Tucker (B: 1886 Alabama) in June 1916. I have found him on the censuses, found his marriage, immigration and US citizenship records too but I'm trying to find a photograph of the couple? There is also a rumour he had a child with a Florrie Edwards? I found information for this but uncertain if it's the same Amos Porter.

If anyone has any information I would really appreciate the help.

Thank you in advance  :)

When & where was the child allegedly born?  England or the USA?  The only other Amos Porter birth on freebmd in the Northumberland area was b 1861

However the 1891 has 2 entries both b 1890 - one with parents & one with grandparents but they are the same child  Amos Porter b Sept qtr 1889 (not 1888) mmn was Gray.  He has been entered on 2 households.  Parents marriage 1888 Joseph William Porter /Elizabeth Wilson Gray

If he married & died in the USA - any photos of him & his wife would be there - not in Northumberland

I have asked the moderator to move your post to the USA board

You need to purchase the birth certificiate to find out if the father was named.
