  Walter Porter

Walter Porter, born November 07, 1858 in North Pickenham, District of Saham Toney, County of Norfolk, died 1932, Middlesbrough, Yorkshire. He met and married Pemela FOWKES, and had 14 children. He became a master-baker, owning a bakery shop in Middlesbrough on the corner of Russell and Clarence St. in Middlesbrough, Yorkshire. Family lore has it that at age 16 the children were given passage to one of the colonies - their pick. My grandmother chose Canada. Which is why I believe we have relatives, yet unfound, in Australia, Britain, Canada and South Africa. His family history follows.
