White family of Whitehall Broughshane

[Alica]

Hi all, I am new to this site having just come across this thread by chance, haven't read all the comments! However, my grandmother was the great niece of Sir George White, I assume his brother was her grandfather from what I gather. Its very strange reading this thread knowing that we are all, somehow, distantly related!

Hello all. I am sorry I haven't been in touch - life really busy. I'm amazed and fascinated reading Cathy's post hearing her speak about Tony. That was my father!!! Jack White (son of Sir George) was my grandfather. He had three sons, Derrick (father of AP White, my cousin) Alan (based in South Africa and father of four sons) and my father, Anthony White (Tony) who had four children -I have two brothers and a sister. Hope this helps. Cathy and Alicia where are you based? I'm not sure what relation we would be!

Hi! I am now just outside London, we moved from N Ireland when I was 3 but all the relatives are still there. I think we would be very distant cousins if you.Are straight down Georges line as we follow from his brothers. Will call my aunt later and see what info I can get, my dad isn't sure and my Nana is now 91 so not sure what she could recall of the lineage.

Hello Everyone,

Does anyone have any further information about Rev. Fulke's other son? or any other children that Fulke's son James had?

My 5th Grandmother was Anne White of Whitehall, Broughshane. She married a Richard Brown Bamber of Belmont House, Belfast (Born 1721 and died 1774). His mother Hannah Bamber was born in Dublin in 1686 and was baptised in Eustace Street Presbyterian where his Grandfather Richard Bamber worshipped.

Unsure which White was her father.  Anne and RB Bamber had three sons, Richard (1747) George (1760) and Henry (1750) plus more maybe. I have no other information than that on Anne

Interestingly, Richard Brown Bambers mother, Hannah maiden name was Bamber and children all took her surname into adulthood.

Ann White, who married Richard Brown Bamber, was the daughter of Archibald White of Dublin (d. abt. 1735) and his wife Jane Smith. Archibald's will names his wife Jane White otherwise Smith. Three daughters Margaret, Martha and Ann. Cousin James White, exor. Cousin Timothy White, exor., brother to said James White. Cousin Archibald White son to his uncle Archibald White. Henry Lecky, Coleraine, Co. Londonderry, Esq., and Wm. Hamilton, Dunnemanagh, Co. Tyrone, trustees. Robert Dent, Dublin, gent. Money due to him out of residuary assets of James Martin. Town and lands of Derryfore [Queen's Co.].

A transcript of Archibald's will can be found here:

The lands of Derryfore came to Ann and were part of her marriage settlement which can be seen in the following deeds:

Archibald was the son of John White/Whyte, the younger, merchant of Belfast. He was the brother of Fulke White of Whitehall. John's family is very well documented in Jean Agnew's Belfast Mechant Families in the Seventeenth Century, p.250-52.

Jane Smith (Archibald's wife and Ann's mother) was the daughter of Andrew Smith (d.1700) and his wife Martha Bell. Martha's brother was the alderman, Thomas Bell (and Mayor of Dublin 1702-03). Jane's grandfather was Samuel Smith of Belfast, (an abstract of his 1726 will can be found at findmypast.com).

Amazing bit of research. Thanks James

I have been watching this story for some years and I do not know if this site is still active.
I am a descendant of this Antrim family through a line of descent which has not been mentioned. It may be a line that others have been trying to find. It has taken me many years to piece together the story around it.
My Gr. grandfather was Thomas White who was a cousin of General Sir George White, and an illegitimate son of John White (The Auld Captain).
As eldest son of John White, Thomas challenged his uncle RJ White for hereditary rights to the White estate.
Thomas and his family emigrated to New Zealand in 1859.
If anybody should want more information I am happy to engage in Roots Chat exchanges.
