Look up request, 1911 Census, Horace White (Whyte), Godstone
« on: Wednesday 22 May 13 19:57 BST (UK) »
Hello,
I've started looking into my tree again after a few years away.
Can someone with access to the 1911 census please look up my great grandfather Horace White (Whyte) ?

He was born ca 1877/78, and lived in the Godstone / Lingfield area.

I'm pretty sure he was married to Mary Ann Mileham, and I know they had a son Arthur Horace White(Whyte), my grandfather, who I can just remember when I was a child.

Very interested if the 1911 census has any further info.

Best Regards,

Ian Whyte.

as they married in 1898, they are together on the 1901 census:-

RG13 Piece 630 Folio 132 Page 2 Parish of Horne, dwelling - Hedgefront??

Horace Whyte 24 Head born E. Grinstead - a Milkman Cattle (sic)
Mary Whyte 21 Wife born Chester Le Street, Durham
Arthur Whyte 1 son born E. Grinstead
Fredk Bissett 16 Boarder



Never sure why the T's & C's for non-1911 arent a problem  ???

I see that his father James was a Milkman in 1881 census ....

It's just RootsChat guidelines!
Fear of litigation, I presume

I think it's because the copyright of pre-1911 censuses is held by The National Archives.
But Brightsolid (owners of FindMyPast) hold the copyright for the 1911 census?

Thanks everybody for all the info,

Some years back I made a real effort to trace my White/Whyte line back as far as possible, then I had to put the project on ice.

Only recently I have been thinking about filling in some of the gaps from the not too distant past and I realised I knew so little about Mary and Horace. I always assumed they only had one child, and I did not know Mary came from Durham. I wonder how they met ? Durham is a long way from Sussex/Surrey. Must be a fascinating story behind that I'm sure.

One of the few things I remember my late father saying about his grandfather Horace was how he used to pour himself a beer every night, and leave it to go flat on the table by the side of his bed. In the morning he would then drink it. He claimed it would lead to a long life. Not exactly socially acceptable behaviour today.

Also when Horace died and was laid out in the parlour, my father told me he remembered his father, Arthur giving Horace a shave in his coffin.

I find it very interesting my father never mentioned Arthur having any siblings, and if they had any children I wonder why my father never mentioned any cousins.

Anyway thanks again. I'm going see if I can dig a little deeper into Mary and Horace's lives,

Best Regards,

Ian Whyte

Hello,

Yes I am quite sure Elven is a sibling. What an usual name. Find it so odd my late father never mentioned any uncle, or aunty. ???
I had a quick look, but have not found any children for Elven & Mary, or a recorded death of Elven.

Best Regards,

Ian

I couldnt see any emigration records, nor as you say death - and I checked alt spellings of surname and used ELV* as well .... surprised how many Elvis there were !

There was an Elv* Whyte in East London Electoral Roll in 1958 ....
