Wow, thank you very much. I think I will construct a tree for this family then I can follow the lines you have shown me; then social media ......

Is there some information that indicates the son of Charles & Mary is Alpheus instead of Agustus?

[josey]

Marriage of Alpheus Ewer White in Everett, Massachusetts in 1894 https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:N471-XY8 states parents as Charles White & Mary J Colman but, you're right, no proof it is the same Charles & Mary.

I have so far been  unable to find a baptism of Alpheus or Agustus [or any of the 4 children stated in 1900].

ADDED:
Have found 1880 census http://www.rootschat.com/links/01pop/, Everett
Chas C White   Self   Male   48   Nova Scotia [both parents born NS] clerk in grocery store
Mary J White   Wife   Female   45   Maine, United States
Alpheus White   Son   Male   12   Maine, United States

and 1870 http://www.rootschat.com/links/01poq/ Vassalboro
Charles White      Male   43   New Brunswick farmer
Mary J White      Female   36   Maine
Lizzie Small      Female   8   Maine
Alpheus E White      Male   2   Maine
Baby White      Male   1/12   Maine
The New Brunswick birthplace is a bit of a barrier....it would be helpful to find this Charles & Mary's marriage to see if parents are named.

Thanks, that Charles carpenter is definitely another candidate that I have attempted to follow in the past. Somewhere I found an 1889 record of being a war dept carpenter in Buffalo [which is where Thomas Dray lived] will try to find it again. l also found a Charles White fisherman single drowned at sea in 1904.

Interesting that ALL the young men with Benjamin Choate in 1855 are carpenters born Nova Scotia....

I found the 1889 reference I mentioned. On Ancestry U.S., Register of Civil, Military, and Naval Service, 1863-1959 War Department; Engineer Dept at large; Charles White carpenter Born Nova Scotia appointed in New York employed in Buffalo NY.

I think this carpenter Charles White is more likely to be the one I am looking for rather than Charles, clerk, who married Mary J Colman - I probably have led people astray there sorry  . A marriage with parents named would help....Charles' father Michael was a labourer on the Shubenacadie Canal.

ADDED: What do you think of these?

If you don't have this marriage, do you have other information aside from Alpheus' birth record that your Charles White married a Mary Colman? 

Alpheus White seems to be with wife Catherine & daughter Muriel in Everett, Mass. in the 1900 census, so he's probably not the Agustus in the 1900 census above.
