John's birth/baptism has not been traced but the year of 1733 has been estimated from other records which gave his age. The marriage record says John was from Covenham St Bartholomew, Lincolnshire but he's not found in registers for this parish [or any other Portas]. Covenham is next to Fulstow where many Portas family members are found.
John was about 21 when he married Mary who was a 41 year old widow!
Mary married her first husband, Joseph Hutton on 12th April 1737 at North Somercotes. They had five children -
