Suttles and Porters
Two very familiar Glemsford names form the focus of a request from a regular correspondent, Rose Sillett, in Australia:
I found in the 1881 census my grt,grt,grandad David Suttle b.1863,mat weaver.
He had a sister Rebbecca b.1865 yarn warper(mat), Caroline b.1868, scholar, Ellen,b.1871,scholar.
They all lived with their parents in Pump Lane,Glemsford at that time.
I have not found any more about Caroline or Ellen.
Does anyone know anything about them?
I was able to point Rose at a probable marriage between Ellen and Charles Gridley Porter, which produced children with the familiar names of George and Alma Porter, among others
But of Caroline there is still no sign. And where was Charles in 1901?
Any further information on either girl would be gratefully received.
Usual routes: comment or via email to me.
