White Family Aithsting, Shetland
« on: Tuesday 25 April 23 09:33 BST (UK) »
Hi all.
I am looking for any information on the White family from Tresta, Tumblin and Nether Houland.
I Have Peter White 1770, his father Magnus, his father Patrick.
I also have a James White B 1759, his father is Adam White. James wife is Christina White (maiden name), B: 1763 Her parents Adam White and Jane Tait.
Peters Daughter, Charlotte White, Married James and Christina's son, Andrew White
I know this is confusing.
Any help appreciated

Church records on https://www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk at SANDSTING AND AITHSTING

Births & Marriages - 1733 – 1854    Deaths 1733 – 1775 (Including 17 Whites)

ONLY FATHER NOTED ON MOST RECORDS IN THE PERIOD.

SO IT LOOKS LIKE PATRICK WHITE HAD FOUR CHILDREN.
WHITE   KATHARINE   17/02/1734
WHITE   MAGNUS   30/03/1735
WHITE   KATHARINE   30/05/1737
WHITE   ELIZABETH   30/08/1739

This looks like the marriage of Magnus as it appears on SP.

WHITE   MAGNUS   KATHARIN JAMESDR.   06/10/1764   SANDSTING AND AITHSTING

The only baptism I can see is below; bare in mind that Peter and Patrick can be interchangeable.

WHITE   PATRICK   G MAGNUS/WHITE   31/08/1765   SANDSTING AND AITHSTING

…………..

I guess this is the James you refer to?

WHITE   JAMES   ADAM WHITE   12/09/1758   SANDSTING AND AITHSTING

I think this may be Christina?

WHITE   KIRSTAIN   ADAM WHITE   17/08/1763   SANDSTING AND AITHSTING

In the period 1733 to 1745 there were two Adams, see below, so I guess that needs to be researched.


WHITE   ADAM   JAMES WHITE   02/09/1742   SANDSTING AND AITHSTING
WHITE   ADAM   JOHN WHITE   28/07/1737   SANDSTING AND AITHSTING

Colin
Clarke, Trickett, Orton, Lawless, Norton, Detheridge, Kirby, Goodfellow, Wagstaff, Lowe, etc.
