Henry Webb Porter married in Islington 1846. His marriage certificate should give his fathers details.

1846.............can't be the parents of William who married in 1855 unless it was very late for some reason

Or, of course, a second marriage

Erika - did you sneak something extra in to your post of 16.32?

If Henry is the son of Catherine then possibly this is his birth 15/4/1808 baptised later at St Clement Danes, son of Joseph Porter and Catherine.

Not guilty m’lud ;-) ;-)

His new music did not go down particularly well with critics.

" Trust in Me " ( W . H . Webbe , , N . Z . ) , words by W . R . Wills , music by W . H . Webbe . We cannot say much in favour of this song . "Supplication" ( Berlin . Piano Importing Co , N . Z . ) This air , with variations , by W . H . Webbe , will prove useful as an exercise for pianoforte pupils. "Belle Polka", published by the same firm, composed by W H Webbe. This is not remarkable either for originality or cleverness.

Two PM’s received - not sure what they relate to.
