    1. [ENG-DURHAM] re Joseph Porthouse, born 1895 in Gateshead, Durham
    2. Janet Hopkins
    3. Hi Listers! I am looking up the family of Joseph Porthouse, who was born on Nov 20, 1895, in Gateshead, Durham. He was the child of Archibald Porthouse, and his wife Jane. Siblings were Mary A. in 1891, Elizabeth in 1893, and then Joseph in 1895. A younger sister Margaret followed in 1897. I am looking for descendants of the Joseph Porthouse, born 1895. He had children from his first marriage, also yet another Joseph Porthouse, who lived in the Newcastle and Gateshead area. A daughter, Joyce, married John Haralson,and lived in Virginia Beach, USA. There was also a daughter, named Doris, who may have married a Mr. Fox. Jospeph Porthouse was married to my great-grandmother, Margaret Morris Matthews (first marriage) Cain (second marriage) in their older years, year not known. He died age 91, in 1987. Seeking any family photos of the Cain side. Will provide family with Porthouse photos in return. Janet Hopkins, in Canada
