Hi have looked at this site and found it very interesting as I do have a Whitehouse line in my tree,. However, All the links just take you to "WORD" documents, and the only link shown on those will obviously ..not work.. ,
Googling the unworkable links takes you to the "One name Studies Guild "where you have to pay to register...
I smell a con...

Message for "Joanne56" from the WHITEHOUSE FAMILY HISTORY CENTRE.
The WFHC is a non-profit service completely free of charge and can be accessed at www.users.waitrose.com/~whitehousefhc.
There is no "con" involved. Everything is free. You are completely mistaken.
I do not know why the links would not work for you and can only guess that you do not have MS Excel installed on your computer. The indexes are written in MS Excel and obviously will not work if you don't have it. You can download a reader free or install the free Open Office software.
As to the Guild of One-name Studies, you are under another misapprehension. Access to the directory of members' studies (such as to mine) is completely free to the general public. You can obtain my e-mail address and other particulars there. Having done so, you can then contact me with a query about the Whitehouse surname and I will do my best to help you. I have some 470 correspondents and try to link newcomers into existing trees.
I am member 1032 of the Guild of one-Name Studies and have registered the surname Whitehouse. I pay an annual subscription and I also had to pay a small once-only fee to have the one-name study registered. This gives me the advantage of a contact point so that those who have a genealogical interest in the name can contact me, as I have explained above. Members of the public making the enquiry do not have to pay anything.
I trust that this clarifies matters for you. An apology would be appreciated.

hi whfc great site you got there with loads of info, its grown a bit since i was last there, but the above link still work for me with no problems. pete

Hello again,
Sorry for any previous misunderstanding, didn't realise it was a personal site as link didn't work for me.
Was prompted by recent post to try link again and this time it worked fine.
I think I may have found my ancestor on your probate and grants index. Though I am not sure what this implies.
How would I add my Whitehouse info to your database.
My 5 times gt.Grandfather was Joseph Whitehouse, b. 1802 Oldbury; his daughter Sarah b. 1824 Tipton married James Davies b. 1818 Oldbury; but interestingly their daughter Honor b.1847 married James Parry.
Please advise on how to add info if that is possible.
Regards Joanne

OK, Joanne - you are forgiven !
The databases (indexes) on the WHITEHOUSE FAMILY HISTORY CENTRE website are posted by me for public information and are not interactive. So, you can't yourself add to them. You can, if you wish, register yourself with the WFHC, in which case you will get a reference number, which will be added to the databases at the next update time. In order to register, you need to comply with the registration formalities which you will find in the REGISTRATION FAQs document on the website. To contact me, see Section 6 of that document.
Kind regards, Keith

Can I just say, that for anyone researching Whitehouse,
the W.F.H.C. site is a must!!
Jackie.

Thanks, Jackie - "you're my favourite". I'm not immediately picking up whether you are a Jackie registered with the WFHC. There are quite a few. "I'm not doddery - doddery I am - NOT !." Anyhow, let me know if I can help and I'll give you priority over absolutely everyone else. Being nice works. Keith

Oh dear I must be having a senior moment or three just can't see how you search for people on the site Help.
I am trying to find the families of two Whitehouse families joined by marriage.
Elizabeth Whitehouse baptised in St Mary Warwick
637 1828 Dec 7th Elizabeth (14years old) daughter of Joseph and Ann WHITEHOUSE Servant CE CARLIS
She married Samuel Grimerd and was widowed then married Q4 1845
GRIMARD Elizabeth WHITEHOUSE James Birmingham 16 542
many trees on An..ry have James as son of James and Jane nee Salmon but although I can find their marriage in Hook Norton and baptisms for 5 children I can not find James abt 1821 baptised or with them on any census
Can you heelp with either family please? I am wondering if James and Elizabeth were cousins
Many thanks

Help I am obviously doing something wrong I can't find how to register on that site and when I click on the link to your e mail I get site unfound so I will post my query here and hope you can point me in the right direction. So I will try here again and cross my fingers.
Elizabeth Whitehouse was baptised Warwick St Mary
1828 637 December 7th Elizabeth (14 years old) Daughter of Joseph & Ann WHITEHOUSE Market Place Servant CEC
She married twice first Samuel Grimerd in St Martin's Birmingham 1834 then secondly to James WHITEHOUSE in 1845 in Birmingham district
James was also born in Warwick in about 1821 possibly the son of James and Jane nee Salmon though I can find baptisms of other children for them but not a baptism for James
James and Elizabeth had two children that I am interested in
1.James born 1850 m 1867 Amelia Green their daughter Ann Elizabeth b 1870 m William PRATT
2.Harriett b 1852 m Charles Edward PRATT in 1877
William and Charles Edward were sons of my 2x Gt Grandfather
On various censuses these Whitehouses are Hawkers, Earthen ware dealers and fruiters
What I want to know is;
1 Were they Romany/Gypsie folk
2. How do they relate to the Birmingham Whitehouse family
3. Is anything known about Joseph and Ann the only record I have found is Elizabeth's baptism and finally is there any proof that James was the son of James and Jane nee Salmon
Sorry I know its a big ask but I hope you can help with it

Thanks Academy,
I get to the site welcome page and there it stops I can't see how to register or search for specific names etc the families don't seem to be relevant to my enquiry which if a family from Warwick and when I try to down load one incase It just goes off to the etha not showing up on my machine. The marriages I managed to get but only one half of the couple was shown and no dates so I am totally lost and confused then he gives a link which he says will lead to his e mail address and it goes to a page on the Guild of one name studies which tells me "Search parameter invalid" so how do I
1 contact the owner
2 see what is already available
3 get the downloads to show on my machine and finally
4.search for a specific family
I would love to share what I have on my branch to help other WHITEHOUSE researchers if its not already there. From my last post you can see it is quite a complex little group I have the children of Jane Salmon ( I was trying to see if she linked to my Willoughby Salmon/Sammon family) and the children of Elizabeth from both her Grimer(r)d and Whitehouse husbands and I wondered if Elizabeth had married a cousin James But with out finding Elizabeth's father Joseph and a baptism linking James to Jane( there is a baptism for James and a Samuel in Hook Norton to a James and Jane but all their other children are in warwick so I need proof it is the same James and Jane)
Any help to get me sorted on what looks like his useful and extensive site would be very welcome

I had no trouble getting the contact details from the website.
1) Go to http://www.users.waitrose.com/~whitehousefhc/
2) Click on link http://www.one-name.org/cgi-bin/searchrequest.cgi **
3) Click on Reg. names button
4) type in Whitehouse and only 1 entry comes up
** problem is the website has listed the results url which is invalid just going directly to it. Should be this link-
http://www.one-name.org/register.html
