Kate, thanks for looking.
I have Tinker, thanks.
I too wish I could find his burial.
There is a very short time frame. The details for the two dead children show this:
Samuel chr. 30 Jul 1837 Cathedral Manchester
died 13 May 1838 9 Caroline Street Ancoats Decline
Son of Samuel Porritt Deceased Millwright
Informant: Alice Porritt
Alice chr. 30 Jul 1837 Cathedral Manchester
died 2 Aug 1837 Caroline Street Ancoats Diarrhoea
Informant: Alice Porritt Mother Widow
There is no indication that Samuel was dead when the children were christened, but he was definitely dead by 2nd August 1837.
