WHITEHOUSE Family of C18th/C20th Tipton, Staffs

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.

Tipton baptisms and the 1841 census reveals the following known children to Job & Hannah:

• Jane WHITEHOUSE (c. 1.4.1813, d. 29.5.1814);

• Susanna WHITEHOUSE (c. 4.5.1815 = David GUEST in 1835 Dudley);

• William WHITEHOUSE (c1818-1836);
