Notes
Charlotte was christened on 16 Oct 1831 in the parish of Sidlesham. She was the 3rd of 4 children born to Jesse and Hannah Steer whilst they were 
living on Keynor Farm where her future husband, Isaac Glew, was born 6 years later. She married Isaac on 22 Sep 1860 in Sidlesham and had 4 
children by him, 2 were to die before they were 6 months old. Isaac died when aged 42 in 1881 and Charlotte remarried on Christmas day 1885 to 
George Porter, she was then aged 54 and George, a wheelwright, was just 35. Her youngest son, Allen would have been 13 at the time. Dad 
remembers her being referred to in the family as Granny Porter although she died 1917 aged 85 (86 is stated in the parish burial register) some 10 
years before Dad was born. The burial register also records her as living in Shopwyke, nr Chichester at the time of her death. She appears on various 
census returns for Sidlesham: in 1861 she and Isaac are living at 8 Street End and have a boarder living with them - William Earwicker who is 
probably Isaac's uncle (mother Frances's brother); in 1871 their first born Thomas is 6 yeras old and they again have a lodger living with them 
(Henry Barrie - no relation); in 1881 she and Isaac are living at 9 Hatcher's Farm House with both of their surviving children - Thomas (15) and 
Allen (9); by the time of the 1891 census (RG12/0840 2- page 7 folio 62) Isaac has died and Charlotte is now married to George Porter, they are 
living at 44 Selsey Rd, Sidlesham and again have lodgers - William Boxall and James Robinson. Charlotte was my 2 x Great Grandmother.
