I've checked the marriages for 1912-1920 and there is no sign of a Frederick (with or without a C) Porter marrying a Thomas anywhere.

Hi Iris,

Your next step would be to look for a marriage between your grandparents,,,,,,,,combining the two surnames,that of your fathers mother prior to marriage and his fathers surname,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,your fathers mothers will appear on his birth certificate as -----maiden name ,

Your grandparents marriage will give fathers names,then look for their marriage,,,you may make a few hicups along the way but will eventually get there,
