It's been awhile since I was on here, but came across an article I thought was interesting. It took place at New Hey Farm just a little north-east of Whitewell, Lancashire. Our Porters moved from Porter Farm, Ulnes Walton, Lancashire to New Hey Farm at the end of the 1700s. They would have moved on to other farms by the time of this incident.
