Chris_Portwine on Family Tree Circles

When I first started tracing my family tree using Genes Reunited I found an uncle that I knew nothing about, he was Alfred Lloyd Portwine (1896 ? 1938). I asked my sister about him and she had no knowledge. I found two Doreen Portwines from Croydon. My sister was able to tell me that the two Doreens had met. After my sister died I discovered that the two Doreens were first cousins. One was the daughter of my father and one the daughter of Alfred Lloyd Portwine. I wonder if the illegitimate female Portwines that I come across in Croydon are related to Doreen Portwine and so are cousins of mine.

I was contacted by a Mrs Portwin who directed me to William John (Portwin) who was brought up with my father William James Portwine. Again I had no knowledge of William John, and by this time my sister had died so I could not ask her. It is supposed that the father of William John was my grandfather Alfred Portwine and having deserted his wife left her with an illegitimate child to bring up, echoes of Brian Aldridge in The Archers.

I am interested in Christopher Portwine(s). There are two in England, one in Kent and one in Yorkshire. There is a Chris Portwine in USA, possibly New York, but this may be a Christian Portwine. Are there any more Christopher Portwine(s) in the world, alive or dead? I have family trees for the two English Christopher Portwine(s), these trees go back to the start of registration in England and Wales and include about half of the Portwine(s) born since about 1830. I would like to be able to put all of the English Portwine(s) into family trees and then trace back to the original Huguenots. I am encountering problems with unmarried female Portwine(s) from the Croydon area, there seem to be a lot of them, is it something in the water perhaps. When I've done that I will be able to add in the Portwin(s).
