Surnames: Portener, Bryans, Fox
Hi there,
My great Aunt and Uncle were Sadie (Bryans) and Jim Portener.
They had a son Eddie.Eddie had five kids..I recall a Brian,Kevin and Sandra.I know that at one time Eddie and wife Dorothy? lived in Thunder Bay.
Sadie and Jim Portener lived around Toronto and also in Bracebridge.
I have a family tree and want to connect to add more info.
I really would like to know where Sadie and Jim were married..Jim's letters to my Mom indicate they married in 1912.
I can't find a record of their marriage.
I can easily find Sadie's sister Edith Bryans (Aunt Sis) and her husband Johnny Fox.
Anyone who has any info..I've looked on Ancestry for a Portener family tree but none so far.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Elaine

Thank you so much for the info!
Recently, I discovered on the 1921 census that James Portener was born in Australia!
So, I'll search for his birth and possible marriage to Sadie Bryans.Maybe they married in Australia.
Her brother Edward was living there at the time.
Thanks again,
Elaine
