  • John white

    Desperately trying to locate the parents of John White who was married to Tabitha Ransom in Edington, Wiltshire. I've no birth or death for John but do have a marriage date of 10th Oct 1799. Any Help would be much appreciated. Thank you.

    The 1851 census suggests that his birth year was 1766 and his wife's 1776, with their ages shown as 75 and 65 respectively.

      Note that a LOT of information on the later years of John White has already been found and posted on the thread titled "Mary livinia white"

        I haven't had time to do much research, but looking at the baptisms, I suspect there may have been two couples called John and Tabitha White in the area.

          Do you mean the 1841 census? That couple was in West Harnham, which is not very close to Edington.

            Thanks all for input, the only reference to John in previous thread was about his children, I'm trying to find his parents and ancestors. As his grand daughter also married a White so trying to travel back to see if there is a family connection.

              when we are looking to help, and information is scant, we often move forwards to try to find something that MIGHT help with earlier information.

              That's why I mentioned that a lot of information on LATER had already been found, to avoid people wasting time trying to build the picture.

                ??????

                a Tabitha White was buried 24 Dec 1836, birth year ca 1770, Edington, Wiltshire

                no further information.

                This COULD give an indication of possible birth year for John White.


                We are of course dependent on Parish Records being online, and do not really know where John White was born. It could be Wiltshire or anywhere else in the UK!

                    The Banns of marriage, read on the 8th, 15th and 22nd of September 1799, state that John White and Tabitha Ransom were "both of this Parish", which indicates that John was living there at the time of the marriage, but doesn't mean that he was born there.

                    Witnesses at the marriage were:- George White, Wm White, Ann Hayman (??sp), Jane White, and Elizabeth Wells.


                    William White, Carpenter, married Elizabeth Wells on 30 November 1799 (it's the next entry in the Parish Register)
