Distribution of the family
name in 1881
showing a clear STS origin. |
Distribution of the family
name based on 2000-2005 data.
In the West Midlands the name frequency is high at 1,688 per million. |
The location of the original White
House is not clear.
“Barbandni” on Ancestry recalls that
his father referred to the property on the corner of Daisy Street and Brierley
Lane (exactly opposite Skidmore Road) in Tipton as being "The White
House" and that he said he had always known it as that as a child from
1915.
My WHITEHOUSEs
Seeking ancestry of my 3xGGPs Job
WHITEHOUSE (n. c1788) m. by 1813
to Hannah TUCKER
(c1790),
most likely somewhere in the Staffordshire/Black Country (Dudley/Tipton) or
nearby Birmingham area. Marriage has not been found. The St. Giles Rowley Regis marriage of a Job
WHITEHOUSE to an Ann WHITEHOUSE on 17.4.1809 has been discounted as
Hannah's name is clearly TUCKER on son Thomas's BC in
1839.
However, Job is possibly s/o Job WHITEHOUSE &
Rachel GRIFFIS (GRIFFITHS) who m. 10.7.1784, Tipton. Currently no baptisms found
for this marriage. This is speculation based on a Joseph GRIFFITHS
present on
the 1841 census with the family.
|
Job died of "a hurt in a Coal Pit"
aged 52 on 24.12.1840 (matching dates between registering his son Thomas's
birth in April 1839 and the 1841 census, where Hannah was a
widow living in Wood Street).
Informant on death = John WHITEHOUSE of Princes End. A John WHITEHOUSE was
at Princes End (a local mine). He married Sarah MASON on 25.10.1830 at
St. Martin, Tipton. Their eldest child was a Job WHITEHOUSE c. 3.4.1831
at St. Martin, of Wood St. Tipton. John may the c. 4.11.1810 at St. Martin s/o John
WHITEHOUSE & Mary. Born in 1788, Job would have been of legal age
in 1809 to witness the marriage of George WHITEHOUSE & Mary. Without a baptism for Job, this is the only tenuous
link between this family and the many other WHITEHOUSEs in the area. John would
at least appear to be a nephew, if not a younger brother. Widow Hannah
WHITEHOUSE married George SHAW in Q4 1855 Dudley RD (presumably Tipton)
and was present with her new husband and youngest son by Job, Thomas, on
the 1861 census. |
