could this be them? I looked at the information that you have given and although it says snelgrove looks like they have 2 surnames, so searched in the White one. |

Thanks Nicola. It's a possible but the children are not there with them. This family have been a real pain. |

Your welcome, it is possible that the other 2 children are staying with relatives. Also have noticed that on all the childrens names they have W as an initial and after looking at the fathers middle name, White is not a name you would associate with a middle name. I know its a long shot but maybe try searching with White as surname and see what happens. |

Daughter Georgina's birth cert has her as Georgina White (White as middle name) Snellgrove. She was born at 8 Claremont Cottages, 18 Jan 1846, Bethnal Green, Hackney road. In 1846 I also found her brother William White Snellgrove 1835 in a court case as a witness to a theft. He said he was living at Claremont Cottages with his father. With the kids before 1837 on the baptisms they have the middle name as White also. |

I can see why you are stumped and completely stuck....How strange for all the children and the father to have White as a middle name. |

Nicola I have so many William White Snellgrove's and William White's I don't know if I am coming or going!! William White Snellgrove1835 dad was William White Snellgrove 1804, his dad was William White Snellgrove 1789 whose dad thank goodness was Israel Snellgrove who married Hannah White. Hannah White's dad was William White and her brother William White. The brother William White was a land surveyor based in Sand near Wedmore . Now I can find him in google books and a few bits and bobs but nothing really else but it's possible his son was William White and he also had a nephew William White who was a reverand! So as you can see this family has driven me mad over the last couple of years but things are slowly coming together. |
