There is this baptism - Elisabeth Porter England Births and Christenings Name Elisabeth Porter Gender Female Christening Date 10 Jun 1696 Christening Place Breadsall, Derbyshire, England Father's Name Joseph Porter You could try asking Derek to help via his Derbyshire look ups thread - include a link to this thread. http://www.genesreunited.co.uk/boards/board/ancestors/thread/1191073

	It is very rare to find mother's name mentioned on any baptism records back then

Member Since: June 2004 Posts: 28 Send Message	Thank you all for looking at this. Elizabeth Porter was married to John Standley on 24/5/1716 - he died in 1729. She then went on to marry Michael Bonnington with the surname being spelt Stanley in 1731. I will look at Thomas Porter though I think her father may have been Joseph

IF she was born in the general area then there is this possible baptism - found on the free to use site https://familysearch.org Elizabeth Porter England Births and Christenings Name Elizabeth Porter Gender Female Christening Date 1691 Christening Place DERBY, ST.ALKMUND, DERBY, ENGLAND Father's Name Thomas Porter Duffield is about 6 miles from Derby and Breadsall lies between the two

Member Since: June 2004 Posts: 28 Send Message	I am trying to get some information on this family. I have an Elizabeth Porter born 1696. Firstly, married John Standley in 1716 and then Michael Bonnington in 1731. I am trying to find Elizabeth's parents if anyone can help shed some light on this. Many thanks, Jeryl
