Try this website (bt.com). Just enter the surname you are searching and the area as "portobello". It came up with 66 entries when I tried the surname "TAIT". I've used this website before and written letters to potential descendents in Ireland. It was a fairly successful way of contacting people without being too demanding. Good luck to you! P.
