showing a clear STS origin.

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.

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.
