John White - Harrow Weald

Very true! That is why I am trying to prove/disprove it, but first I have to find him!

Hi Philippa

The Harrow Weald registers deposited at the LMA are

baptisms from 1838
marriage and burials from 1845

The other ancient churches in the area with registers that cover the dates you are looking for are

St John Stanmore from 1599
St Lawrence Stanmore from 1558
St John Pinner 1654

He could well be buried on the Hill, unfortunately the microfilm of the registers needs careful and meticulous study, I only have 30 mins at lunch-time, which is just not long enough to get to grips with.

Even with my limited geographical knowledge of the area , I would plump for Stanmore first if he's not at Harrow.

I know they have many transcriptions at Harrow and biographies of the 'rich and famous' even infamous. If they have anything there, let me know. I'm sort of local.

Thanks Dawn, I will let you know if I hear back from Harrow.I feel sure there should be something on him as Burke's Peerage mentions his existence, just no details to help. I will have a look at the Stanmore churches you mention.
Best wishes

Hi Phillipa

Burke's isn't necessarily accurate

but it will be interesting to see what Harrow local studies library comes up with, hopefully enough detail to further work with.
