    Start with looking for children then a burial or death for john white and tabitha (her burial will tell you where the family were, and may mention marital status) That will have an age and guide a baptism search more accurately.

      I don't know if you have subs, but perhaps a trip to the library to look at the parish registers on ancestry would be useful. Ancestry's transcripts are terrible and miss many entries, going through the registers themselves finds many things missed.

        So far John and Tabitha had 4 children all boys , the first, William dying within the first year of birth. At Tabitha's Death in 1836 she was a widow so John died between the birth of their last child William in 1810 and Tabitha's death in Edington in 1836. Unfortunately a trip to the library is not possible as im in Scotland and wont have Wiltshire records
        There have been 2 deaths between these dates
        John White 20th Aug 1813 aged 77 and
        John White 9th June 1818 aged 56 which maybe the more likely. Both of Edington Wiltshire.

          What kylejustin meant was for you to visit the local studies / reference section of your library service and use ancestry library edition on the terminals there. Most library services provide provide this online access but (apart from special arrangements during the height of the pandemic) there is no access from home.

          As you are resident in Scotland you can apply for online membership of NLS. They have some genealogical online rescources available from home including a library edition of FindMyPast. It does not include access to the 1921 census of England & Wales though. FMP are very good for their coverage of English parish registers but I have no idea if they include Wiltshire.

            Think you need to look more carefully at these dates. Surely she didn't marry when she was 9?

                  2 John Whites

                  1) Born 26 Sept 1762 Died 9 June 1818 aged 56

                  2) Born 14 Nov 1735 Died 20 Aug 1813 aged 77

                  Both had fathers called William. Now Tabitha's age would be 48 at the time of no1 death and 43 at no2 time of death. I cant find any information on Tabithas marriage register that points to their age gap

                    You may never be able to solve it. If these families left wills you may be able to sort them.
