Re ironworkers in woodford co Galway.hi I'm James John porter from woodford and I stumbled apron this discussion whilst researching my family name for my Australian cousins.we have our family history done from the present back to the 1800s but then the trail goes cold but it is interesting to think that my ancestors could be iron workers in one or all of the 3iron mills that were in woodford.it is well known that certain families were brought over to work in the steelworks because of their expertise in the profession.if it is ant help to you the name Thomas porter has been carried on in every generation.alas I only know of one family of the felle name surviving in the woodford area.my email is jjporter AT irelandmail.com if you need any more information.slan jj porter
