White

1881 Census

A stray White appears on the 1881 census:

JONES Margaret Daughter 3 Redmire
JONES Elizabeth Daughter 1 Redmire
WHITE Richard Apprentice, Unmarried 19 Tailor Wensley

Richard actually appears twice on the 1881 census. As above in Redmire, presumably his regular abode, and also in Wensley, with Samuel and Mary's daughter Mary, visiting his mother and step-grandfather:

Richard was the illegitimate son of Elizabeth White, shown above. Richard appears back in Wensley in 1891, living with his mother Elizabeth, and still working as a tailor.
