From military records on Ancestry - William was born in Shankill, Belfast.  Also a mention in the pension records available on Fold3 (I don't have access) of next of kin - William Porter and Edith Goode (Aunt).

Transcriptions and NBI are merely finding aids.  They are NOT a substitute for original record entries.
Remember - "They'll be found when they want to be found" !!!
If you don't ask the question, you won't get an answer.
