The following Porritt (& variants) records are extracted from The North Yorkshire Deeds Registry, from microfilm at NYCRO, for dates 1737 - 1817 inclusive.


Extract is based upon the name index of vendors, and all variants of Porritt, Porrett etc.. (Note that the index entries only are recorded for some records, and in these cases, there will be further information in the registry.)

Undoubtedly there are further mentions of the name to be found, other than those indexed as vendors, but this awaits a more general search...
