There are two Henry White, Broom makers in Frensham in 1841  :-\
Lion Common, Pitfold, Frensham
Henry 35
Milach 25
Eliza 10
Jane 8
Elizabeth 6
William 5
Henry 3

Parents not born in county, children were.

Hind Head, Pitfold, Frensham
Henry 25
Elizabeth 20
Catherine 5
Phil 3
Rachel 1

All born in county.

It seems like a very common occupation for the area.  There is also a 12 year old Henry whose father William is also a broom maker.

On the 61,

Henry and Millah are still there, they were both born in Hampshire, if that is any use to you, but you need to try and work out the correct Henry really  :)

Thanks everyone for your help and information.
The Henry White I am researching is the Henry of Hindhead, his wife Elizabeth (nee Judge),they married January 20th 1841, their daughter Catherine Judge-White who later married a John Winter in 1854 in Thursley and they became my husbands great grandparents.
I have the census reports from 1841 to 1891 re Henry and his  family.
As there were such a lot of White names in the area and most of them were broomakers, and a lot of them were either William or Henry, it has been difficult to follow the correct person.
Thank you again for replies, they were most helpful and I  appreciate your help.
