Hello,
William Gray Porter/Patrick Bottomley was married to Josephine Hyde, the daughter of William Hyde and Agnes McCormick. I believe he was born in Belfast and I've been trying to find out what happened to him for some time. Josephine died quite soon after they married, I believe she was living with her father at 2 Upper Clifton, Bangor, Co Down, at the time. I suspected WGPB had died on active service abroad.
I'm going to email you because I have lots of information about the family, including a copy of William Hyde's will in which he makes provision for William GPB and Josephine's daughter (Josephine Patricia Bottomley). We are cousins, my great grandmother (Marrianne/ Mary Ann/ Annie) was one of William Hyde's daughters, and Josephine's older sister.
Every good wish,
Liz Carnell
