John Porter Sea Captain & Agnes Roskell
I'm looking for the family of John Porter who was a sea captain out of Barrow-in-Furness. He was my g.grandfather. Went down with his ship, "Agnes Porter" in 1875. His father's name was John and it appears he was also a ship's captain--possibly of the ship Gem. Several of John's brothers were also mariners. John Jr. was born in Warton in 1832, married in Fleetwood to Agnes Roskell, and then moved in Barrow sometime after 1857. Any help would be great.
