He is said to have had 24 children tho only 11 survived to adulthood. >> Hi Ronnie, There was a William Porteus who was the rector in the parish of Boho (now combined withthe parish of Devinish) from 1831 to 1834 (?). Elliot's History of the Parish of Devinish and Boho lists the Protestants of the parish in the 1841 census, with a William Porteus and wife Jane living in Giltagh townland. In same townland is a Robert Porteus, wife Anne, and 9 children. (There are others of the name in other townlands. ) Hope this helps, Janet Cassidy-Stroh
