(Taken from: The Whites - Derbyshire to Liverpool. By John White 2008 According to our research to date the roots of the White line of the family run from Liverpool back to Derbyshire. We’ve had soldiers and carters, self-made businessmen and warehousemen, an employee on a country estate, a travelling salesman, Druggists XE "Druggists" and at least three consecutive generations of farmers. Throughout, there have been the expected successes and failures, the unexpected heart-breaking tragedies, plus some family mysteries waiting to be solved. Family research can open up some dark places indeed |

Robert White the Gamekeeper Robert, the Gamekeeper and Elizabeth Our White-line, which followed from Thomas and Sarah (of the first marriage), is really put into perspective when one merely counts Thomas’ prodigious output of children and the massive geometric progression of offspring that has surely followed. We’re but one of many, many strands that have threaded down; and it’s easy to think of the enormous number of people who are distantly related to us: hundreds of them living parallel but distant lives; each unaware of the other; perhaps even working and living side by side… unbeknownst. If any of you are mathematically inclined - alas, I’m not - you might amuse yourself by working out how many relatives there might be from Thomas, Sarah and Barbara alone! |

c1860: Robert and Elizabeth’s Children and the move to the city As idyllic as life might have seemed around Hathersage and the beautiful Hope and Derwent Valleys, most of Robert and Elizabeth’s children eventually left it behind them - for busy life in Liverpool, Salford and Manchester. They appear to have done quite well for themselves, particularly second eldest son John but it came at a price. |

The Whites of Tedgness Chapter 2 will include everything I know about the Whites who farmed at Tedgness/Tadgness in Nether Padley near Grindleford. Joseph White - who’s grave is in Baslow Churchyard had a son, Thomas White who also farmed - and possibly quarried there too. |
