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.

Thomas married twice and had around 16 children. One of his sons, Robert White went on to become a gamekeeper for the Duke of Devonshire at Highlow and Hazzleford. He’s my Gt Gt Gt Grandfather. Another son, Robert’s brother Samuel White, I believe farmed next to Tedgness on Padley Common at Grouse Farm. This Samuel White and his wife Betty (nee Simpson) ran the Grouse Inn - which is still there today. They also quarried.

Hopefully I’ll have this written and on here soon. JW.
