My grandfather, KENNETH WILLIAM WHITE, was born in Greenspond between 1865-75, I think. (not sure of exact date)
Left to join Canadian Army in late 1800's. Stationed in both Quebec City and Halifax. Died in Halifax in early 1940's. Any information appreciated.

I have, from Greenspond, a Kenneth White and siblings George, my husband's grandfather (b.1860 ), Hugh, and Lucy. Their parents were William White (b 1827) and Rebecca Froome (b 1839).Have previous generations as well. Do you have Ernest Norman Boutilier who died Nov. 8, 1895, age 6 yrs. 5 mo.and James Harold Boutilier who died Nov. 10, 1895, age 3 yrs. 1 mo? Their father was Oswald Boutilier.

Surnames: White, Froome, Bishop, Parsons
Working backwards starting from the 1911 Loo Cove census I have the family of Hugh and Eliza White with children Charles (b. abt. 1899), Minnie (b. abt. 1900), Hugh Jr. (b. abt. 1902), Tasker (b. abt. 1904), and Kenneth (b. abt 1909). Based on the census I calculate Hugh born abt. 1860. My records also show a Hugh White baptized to William White and Rebecca Froome on Feb. 28, 1860 in Greenspond. For those of you who need to know, Loo Cove is also known as Port Nelson, which is a stone's throw from Shambler's Cove, which is a stone's throw from Greenspond. As far as I know, Hugh had a brother George Thomas White baptized on June 16, 1861. Richard Bishop and Samuel White married William and Rebecca on Nov. 10, 1859 as witnessed. Based on the information so far, my records also show a William White was born to John White and Deborah Parsons on March 20, 1837. William had several siblings including a younger brother Samuel (1839-1911). William's other siblings were Jane (b. July 28, 1825), John Jr. (b. abt. 1827), James (1829-early 1830's), George (b. abt. 1830), Edward (b. Aug. 23, 1831), Dinah (b. Sept. 1, 1833), James II (b. Nov. 23, 1834), (then William and Samuel), Sarah (1841-early 1840's), Jonas (b. abt. 1843), Sarah II (1845-1876), and Robert (1850-1851). John and Deborah were married on Feb. 3, 1824. John Sr. (b. abt. 1806) was baptized by his mother, Dinah White (1774-1852), along with several other siblings on Apr. 12, 1830. John's other siblings were Thomas (b. abt. 1809), Soloman (b. abt. 1811), Edward (b. abt. 1813), Susan (b. abt. 1815), Sarah (b. abt. 1818), and Mary (b. abt.1823). Dinah is my GGGGreat grandmother through the line of George White, William White's brother. If anybody can add to this linage, please let me know. Thanks.

I have your Hugh White of the 1911 census as the brother of my husband Harold's grandfather, George White (May 1860-Mar 20, 1929) Greenspond. George's obit in the Methodist Monthly Greeting (MMG) of May 1929 & reprinted in the Greenspond Letter Vol. 7, #3 Summer 2000, refers to a brother at Port Nelson, (your Hugh) another at Halifax and a sister at Coronado California. George's spouse was Lydia Stagg (b. Nov. 1861) Children were Ada White(b.1887) who married Walter Burry, & Lucy Maud White (b. Oct 3, 1896, d. Sept. 1976). Spouse Malcolm Mercer Hollett of Great Burin Island. These are my husband's parents.
The Halifax brother of your Hugh was Kenneth White (b.Oct. 24, 1867 Greenspond & d. Jan 6, 1945 at Halifax) At St. Matthew's (then C of E) Church in Quebec City on Aug. 12, 1897 he married Mary Pyles of Heart's Content.(Sheila Boutlier has given me the names of their descendents.)

Hugh's sister was Lucy White who married Sam Peddler & lived in California where they had children (I think it was 2 sons.)
I have the same information as you, re the birth date of William White & the marriage of William White and Rebecca Froome. She was the daughter of Hugh Froome and spouse Mary Starkes and was born Apr 17, 1839 at Greenspond.
Thanks to Sheila Boutlier I have a picture of William and Rebecca.
I had recorded only 2 siblings for William; Samuel and John. You have 10 others. I have William's brother John as born 1826, & married Dec. 3, 1849 to Susan Burton, daughter of Stephen Burton and Mary Cuff of Bonavista. Their son Stephen (1861-1921) married Mary Ann Saunders daughter of James Saunders and spouse Elizabeth Stratton. I have 6 children for them: Albert John, Joseph, Elizabeth, Charlotte, Sarah Jane, & Robert.

Re William's parents, I have Deborah Parson's birth date as 1804. I have the marriage data but not the baptismal note.

Re John White & Dinah I had only the son John , otherwise our data is similar. I have Dinah as baptized on Apr. 12, 1830 at age 56.

I haven't come across that information but will keep it in mind when researching the White family, and will get back to you if I find anything.

Lets start from the "beginning". I have a Dinah White (b. 1768 or 1774 - 1852), husband unknown, baptizing herself (@ 56 yrs of age) and her children (from 24 to 7 yrs of age) on Apr. 12, 1830 at Greenspond. As far as I know, her children were John, Thomas, Soloman, Edward, Susan, Sarah and Mary. A John White married a Deborah Parsons on Feb. 3, 1824 at Greenspond. I concluded that this John was Dinah's son, but have not obtained any proof of this. My conclusion was based on the fact that a Deborah (@ 26 yrs of age) and a Jane (@ 5 yrs of age) were baptized at the same time as Dinah and her children. John and Deborah's children were baptized on various dates, including before the group was baptized on Apr. 12, 1830 (for Jane, John Jr., Edward and George). As has been documented there were many mass baptismals done in 1830 & 1831 in Greenspond. John and Deborah's children seem to be Jane, John Jr., James, George, Edward, Dinah (Jr.?), James 2, William, Samuel, Sarah, Jonas, Sarah 2, and Robert. A George White married a Rebecca Ford on Nov. 2, 1854. I concluded that this George was the son of John and Deborah, but have not obtained any proof of this, due to the dates George was baptized (1830) and married (1854) and the locations of both (Greenspond). George and Rebecca's children seem to be John, Mary Ann, Jacob, John 2, Dinah, Lucy, George (Jonas?), and Andrew. A Jacob White married a Louisa Hunt abt. 1882. I concluded that this Jacob was the son of George and Rebecca, but have not obtained any proof of this, due to the dates Jacob was baptized (1859) and the age of his oldest son (b. abt. 1882). Based on family history Jacob and Louise moved to Loo Cove and started their family there. According to various censuses and family knowledge, Jacob and Louise's children were Arthur, Henry, Baxter, Noah, Jacob, Edgar, Garland, and Danny. Garland, my grandfather, married Ruth Norman. Their children were Sadie, Rowland, Snowden (my dad), Mildred, Douglas, Gordon, and Sarah Gertrude. Dad's second marriage was to Cora Barefoot (my mom) and their children are Donald (from Dad's 1st marriage), Wilson, Howard Carl, Cora Marie, Daphne, me, Audrey and Karen Joanne.

FYI, I share a lot of the same information as you as per your posting. However I do have a question. I think you identified Dinah's (1774-1852) husband as John. Were did you obtain this information as I have been unable to determine his name.

Also, for Stephen and Mary Ann, I also have a Josiah (as per 1911 census) and an Olive (unknown source) listed as their children in addition to the ones you listed.
