I believe my ancestors offered their hospitality to Napoleon while his house was being prepared fur him. Dad’s brother Lawrence Porteous once wrote to the vicar. After a long wait, he received the reply, “After considerable research I have decided it is better to let sleeping dogs lie!” My father was Patrick Porteous VC. My 2nd cousin Peter Porteous is the family genealogist. Best wishes to you all.
