Portia (her second name was her paternal grandmother’s maiden name) was born 30 July1866 but died 14 July1867, the loss made even more tragic as her elder sister Mary had died eight days previously.
Her parents lost their first four children, all daughters, under the age of three.
Happily four sons and three daughters survived infancy, although one child, Lucy Rosa, died aged nine.
