Here is the link which mentions that Fulke White had two sons. I think MK's speculation is that Timothy of Roughan may have been the "other son" so Fulke White may be a common ancestor to the Whites of White Hall and the Roughan Whites. It may be that a recognition of the family links continued but the actual relationship went back a long way.  In the Braid area there was certainly a tradition of acknowledging "yer ain yins"  and a recognition of kinship links remained through the generations. Since Fulke White was from the old West Riding of Yorkshire ( and I'm now living in West Yorkshire) I'd be very interested to find out if I have actually come "home"!

Hi All

I'm Cathy's cousin, JD (also grandaughter of James White and Agnes Meban).  Cathy, some of your dates are wrong! Granda White left the army in April 1903,having participated in the coronation of Edward VII (I have copy of army record -long story!). This is described by his mother,Maria, in a letter to her Australian cousin. I sent your mum copies if these.  Granda White's father was called John and so was his father. Our cousin MK has researched in detail and has dates. I think I'm right but you can check with MK -it looks like any possible link with the Whites of White Hall goes further back. There was a Timothy White living at Roughan in the 18th century who may have been a second son of Rev Fulke White who built White Hall and was an ancestor of Sir George White. (If you google Rev Fulke White it will link to a biography of Sir George White and mentions Fulke White). This Timothy may have been an ancestor of ours but is speculative.  Hope that this clears up some confusion in the thread! Cathy,if you like to get in touch can fill you in!
