Find Ancestors

Would someone be kind enough to find for me please, James Porteous born circa 1852 in Sleaford, Lincs. His Occ was a Watchmaker.

His wife is Esther born in Ledbury, Herefordshire.

I have found him in 1881/91/1901 census and I know he died in 1928.

I am also interested in his son Philip Blaze Porteous born 1881.

Nala.
