The info you posted for William Leeks Porter is my 2ggrandfather. Edward and Pearl are the 2 youngest of their 13 children (including a daughter named Louisa Clare). We haven't been able to determine if he was named for William Porter as his biological father is William Leeks. Though I haven't yet found any church records I believe him (William Leeks Porter) and his wife came to Utah in 1885 or 1886 after joining the Church of Jesus Christ of Latterday Saints somewhere in Glamorgan. He resided in Ogden, Weber, Utah where he worked as the city sexton and he and his first wife (at least) are now buried in the cemetery where he presided as sexton. I currently live in Clearfield, Utah about 15 minutes south of Ogden. I would love to compare information with you. You can reach me at mystic712000@yahoo.com if interested.
