Hi Carol : Greetings from Canada. The NSW Government Index of Births,Deaths and Marriages lists Edwin Porter as having died in 1897 as you indicate : his parents are listed as "unknown". An Eliza Porter died in 1930 at the age of 89 ; her parents are listed as (father), Brice - (mother) - Moore.A second Eliza Porter died in 1938 and her parents are listed as Isaac and Minnie. An Enoch Porter and his wife Emily produced Edwin in 1899 and Edith in 1901. A Noah Porter and his wife Alice produced Violet in 1899 and Cecil B. in 1902.Newcastle, NSW, is my home town and my daughter lives there : I will write to her and see if she can do some research for you if you wish it. In the meantime you might like to access the NSW BDM at http://www.bdm.nsw.gov.au/cgi-bin/GenAccesshttp://www.bdm.nsw.gov.au/cgi-bin/GenAccess.Take care : Will. Smith, Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada.
