William White

Parents:

• Birth: William White was born in 1825 at Brighton, Sussex, England^B.
• Baptism*: William White was baptized on 13 November 1825 at St Nicholas, Brighton, Sussex, England^B, needs further verification. The baptism states the parents were William and Mary White, but it appears that there were more that one William & Mary in Brighton.

• Burial*: William White was buried on 15 August 1832 at Edburton, Sussex, England^B, age 7 yrs (Brighton). William's parents were living in Edburton.¹

Henry White

Parents:

• Birth*: Henry White was born in 1829 at Brighton, Sussex, England^B; needs further verification. A baptism record has not been found, and the link from the burial to William & Mary is circumstantial. However, William's parents appear to be the only White's in Edburton, and the burial record says "Brighton".

Sarah Richardson

Mark of Sarah Richerson[sic], 1795.

Parents:

• Birth: Sarah Richardson was born in 1777 at Clayton, Sussex, England^B.
• Baptism*: Sarah Richardson was baptized on 20 December 1777 at St John the Baptist, Clayton, Sussex, England^B.¹
• She was the daughter of James Richardson and Sarah Mockford.
• Marriage*: Sarah Richardson married Henry White, son of James White and Ann Adams, on 5 April 1795 at St John the Baptist, Clayton, Sussex, England^B, Sarah's surname is spelt RICKERSON, both of Clayton, witnesses John Ailward and James Geer (who appears to be the parish clerk.)²
  
• Married Name: As of 5 April 1795, her married name was White.
• Anecdote: In searching for this marriage there were two possibilities:
  24 Jun 1798 Henry WHITE married Sarah MARTEN at Clayton
  5 Apr1795 Henry WHITE married Sarah RICKERSON (RICHARDSON) at Clayton
  These two Sarah's are:
  Sarah RICHARDSON bap. 20 Dec 1777 to James and Sarah Richardson at Clayton
  Sarah MARTEN bap. 20 Sep 1778 to John & Sarah Marten at Clayton
  Henry's first wife, Sarah, was buried at Clayton on 20 Jan 1802, age 24 years. Assuming that the above Sarah's were born one month before baptism, their ages on 20 Jan 1802 would have been: Sarah Richardson 24 years, Sarah Marten 23 years. The date at burial therefore supports Sarah Richardson being Henry's first wife.³
• Anecdote: A witness to the marriage was John AYLWARD who married a Sarah's mother, Sarah RICHARDSON of Clayton, on 16 May 1790 at Keymer. So John Aylward is Sarah RICHARDSON's step-father.²
• Anecdote*: The marriage of a Henry White and Sarah Marten at Clayton on 28 Jun 1798 makes identification of children after this date difficult as both couples lived in Clayton. Their first child was likely Henry, baptised 18 Nov 1798 at Clayton. The next baptism is for Jane White on 29 Jun 1800, and she could be the child of either couple. Intriguingly, there is a baptism at Clayton on 4 Oct 1801 of John White son of Henry and Ann White. There are no Henry White marriages to an Ann in the Sussex Marriage Index in this period so there is the possibility that this is a mistake and should be Henry and Sarah (ie not Ann).²
• Death*: Sarah Richardson died in 1802 at Clayton, Sussex, England^B.
• Burial*: Sarah Richardson was buried on 20 January 1802 at St John the Baptist, Clayton, Sussex, England^B, age 24 years.³
