Henry WHITE & Elizabeth BROWN Preston 1790s

[Petros]

This couple married by banns at Preston on 13 Jan 1788 and had 4 children baptised there before Elizabeth died in Jan 1800. Henry appears to have been buried in Weymouth in 25 March 1832 age 70.

Their surviving sons Robert (1789-1873) and Thomas (1793-1873) were both sailors and both lived in Wyke Regis & Weymouth although Robert moved to Mylor then East Stonehouse ca.1840.

Does anyone know more of Henry or Elizabeth? I've seen the threads on Thomas and his family at Cone Street, Weymouth

Hello
Just a guess but it looks like parents for Henry are
Robert White of Bincombe yeoman married Martha Lillington of West Chaldon 6th Aug 1750 at Osmington.
Robert baptised at Preston 8.6.1726 to Richard and Elizabeth White.
I can find the following children for Robert and Martha-
Thomas 21 Oct 1751 Bincombe
Mary 8.4.1753 Preston
Richard 6 June 1755 Preston
Robert 16 Mar 1760 Melcombe Regis

It looks like Martha died Wyke Regis 20 May 1799.
Robert at Melcombe 27 Sep 1775.

I can't find a Henry but that's my guess.

Thanks for the suggestion, sorting out these WHITEs is tricky when they move parishes

There is an Elizabeth Brown bapt 5 Jan 1767 at Preston. Parents Robert and Mary.
Maybe her son Robert named after her father?

I assume that ELizabeth BROWN is Henry's wife, the age and location are highly suggestive

Certainly a possible, proving it is the difficult task.
