WHITE family from Cambridgeshire to Thames NZ
« on: Saturday 04 February 12 01:33 GMT (UK) »
I am researching the family of William White & Mary(Ann?) nee Hetherington/Etherington/Eatherton/Averton from Wisbeach /Wisbech .
Their daughter Mary Ann married Jos Richard Kneebone in 1885 Thames.
Other siblings who arrived on the Loch Awe in 1874 are Charles (born abt 1853) Thomas (abt 1856/8), Laura/Loria 1860, (who may have married John Langdon?) Arthur 1863, MaryA 1865, John 1868 Sarah 1870 & Charlotte 1872.
Are there any relatives of these children that can assist with information please?

Hi
I know that there is a tree at the Treasury http://www.thetreasury.org.nz/index.htm that includes Kneebone family
Will do some checking of some other sources to see which William White this is...
I have a selection of things at

Bye
Althea

PS> The tree states a second marriage for Mary Ann 1909 to Cowell, William John
1909/277 Mary  White  William John  Cowell  (NZ BMD online)

From Charlotte's school record, William White and family are living in Sealey Street, Thames 1883.

Althea
You're a Treasure yourself, Thanx so  very much . I rang The Treasury but I'm unable to get to see their records which is what I was told was needed.
So I'm now trying to find what happened to the mother/wife Mary(Ann?) White
I had an BMD record for 1903 but now presume William was a widower
Are their any more children on the school records after charlotte born in NZ?
I will try and find them on the E/R
cheers Bernice

There appears to be at least 3 William White's in Thames about same time
hence why it was reassuring to find 2 confirmations of the sealey Street Address and then to have the daughter mentioned..there are alot of reports oncerning the inquest if you look around the date of the death notice.

I have contacted the researcher who donated the Kneebone family tree.

Have you visited the TCDC cemetery database
http://web.tcdc.govt.nz/cemeprod/

I've contacted the Thames Council but there is no connection with Williams burial & MaryAnn that they know off & Twentymans Funeral service but their records dont go back that far.
We also know about Mary Cowells Death in Hillsborough Cemetery
Many thanx again for your help its much appreciated
Cheers Bernice

I have contacted Ralph as he posted his tree on FamNet too but he doesnt have anything on the White Family.

Yes I am now looking for Marys mother & Williams Wife death Mary or Mary Ann I presumed since he was living alone she had predeceased him but had a 1903 entry that seemed to fit before.  I will  see if the inquest or papers past mention if he is a widower?
