Hello, I am trying to find some extra info on Edwin H. Porter reporter in the Lizzie Borden case and author of Fall River Tragedy. I know that he was born in Kentucky, worked for the Fall River Daily Globe and was married to Winifred A. Leonard (born September 1870) in 1891 in Fall River. In the 1900 census he comes up with two children FLorence E. 1892 and Winifred A. 1898 He died February 18 1904. Beyond that, I can't find any info. I can't find him the 1880 census anywhere. I can't find his wife as a Leonard. Assuming that Winifred married again, I can't find any other Winifred that seems to match her details. Argh. Does anyone have any ideas?

NEHGS has Winnifred Leonard b on 13 Sep 1870 Fall River to Michael and Winnifred Leonard, both b Ireland Her family in 1870 census recorded in June before her birth: Year: 1870; Census Place: Fall River Ward 1, Bristol, Massachusetts; Roll: M593_604; Page: 264; Image: 15. the NEHGS marriage record shows two conflicting records for Winnifred's parents, Michael Leonard b Ireland married Winnifred Quigley , maiden name Burns, on Nov 25 1866. Michael's parents parents were a Patrick and Catherine; Winnifred's parents were a Michael and Winnifred ; it was a SECOND marriage for both of them. I think there are mistakes in this record because it is recorded a few pages earlier with lines crossed through it(as if to indicate some errors) with this info: Michael Leonard b Ireland, parents Patrick and Catherine , married Winnifred Burns, maiden name Quigley(no parents listed) on 12 Nov 1866, second marriage for both. There are Burns and Quigleys families in Fall River with the name Winifred--not sure how it all fits together...
