Linda there must have been some sort of epedemic, did you see how many Whitehouse's died in Dudley in the march quarter 1864, there were 11 in 1 quarter. Maybe Whitehouse is just a common name although Comfort & Patience died in the same quarter. I need to get some sleep, goodnight all. Georgina.

Death Record: Name: Comfort Whitehouse Year of Registration: 1864 Quarter of Registration: Jan-Feb-Mar DISTRICT: Dudley (To 1912) County: Staffordshire, Worcestershire Volume: 6c Page: 23 no other whitehouses on the same page with her.

can you find any of the three women on 1881/91 or even 1901? look to see if you can find any of their deaths between the census and his remarriage?
