Raymond Porter was my grandfather's cousin. My grandfather went to Canada and Raymond stayed in London at Lloyds, where he had worked since he was a young boy. Raymond still went into the office well into his nineties and was (at the time) the longest serving member of Lloyds.
He was awarded the OBE in the late 1980s.
