Dear Viv, Believe you also must have some PORTER cousins. It is strange how this family (REPINGTON) Bible printed in 1663 is connecting people. REPINGTON BIBLE PRINTED 1663 Inscriptions: Repington July 17 Ripington Ann Ripington was baptised at St. Johns in Chefter Tanvery 11th 1691 James Porter born March 17, 1822 Sara Porter born August 17, 1823 (Alis) Porter born June 6th, 1825 *Jane Porter born March 18th 1828 Jane Porter her book. Steal not this book for fear of shame for hear you see the owners name. Robert Nuttall/Sarah Nuttal Mary Lane Nuttal *Jane Porter married a Bannister, and this is how the Bible passed down, through my Bannister cousins (whom we are related through later Rhodes). There also might be a chance that Betsy Rhodes may have bought the bible from the Nuttall family who may have been destitute, but I lean heavily towards Jane Porter to Bannister. The Nuttall entries I believe are listings of Jane Porter's cousins whom she must have been close to. NUTTALL FAMILY 1881 British Census DWELLING: 24 Albert Street, Heap, Lancashire, England Robert NUTTALL Head M Male 56 Born Heywood, no Employment **Sarah NUTTALL Wife M Fem 57 " Heywood ***Alice A. NUTTALL Dau Fem 27 " Heywood Cotton Weaver Patience NUTTALL Dau Fem 24 " Heywood Cotton Weaver Prudence NUTTALL Dau Fem 22 " Heywood Cotton Weaver ****Sarah A. NUTTALL Dau Fem 1 " Heywood **Sarah PORTER NUTTALL ***Likely the Alice listed at your Mary's wedding ****Sarah A. Nuttall likely born out of wedlock to a Nuttall daughter My theory is that Alice Nuttall must have had 2 children by Samuel Lane, both out of wedlock, then he died.
