WHITEHOUSE
& TUCKER Families of C18th/C20th Tipton, Staffs

Distribution
of the family name in 1881 showing a clear STS origin.

Distribution
of the family name based on 2000-2005 data. In the West
Midlands the name frequency is high at 1,688 per million.

The
location of the original White House is not clear. “Barbandni”
on Ancestry recalls that his father referred to the property on
the corner of Daisy Street and Brierley Lane (exactly opposite
Skidmore Road) in Tipton as being "The White House" and
that he said he had always known it as that as a child from 1915.
My
WHITEHOUSE & TUCKER Family – Updated November 2013
Hannah
TUCKER (1786-1871), my 3xGGM,
is most likely the illegitimate d/o Rebecca
TUCKER of Tipton, Staffordshire. No
baptism has yet been found. Rebecca TUCKER = James
WHITEHOUSE in 1792 Tipton (Hannah
being aged 5 or 6), which would account for records that have
Hannah's maiden name as TUCKER (the birth registration of her
youngest child in 1839) and her father being given as James
WHITEHOUSE (upon her remarriage to George SHAW in 1855). Assuming
James WHITEHOUSE is her adopted, not biological father, then
Hannah's ancestry is on her mother's TUCKER side only. James &
Rebecca WHITEHOUSE were in Owen Street, Tipton in 1841 with son
Joseph WHITEHOUSE,
both dying a few years later. Nothing is known of Joseph after
1841. James appears to be the s/o Samuel
& Mary WHITEHOUSE baptised in
1762, Tipton. Hannah TUCKER married Job
WHITEHOUSE around 1812 – a
marriage that remains to be found. Hannah may have married as
TUCKER or WHITEHOUSE, or the relationship may be common-law.
Job
WHITEHOUSE may be s/o Job
WHITEHOUSE & Rachel GRIFFIS (GRIFFITHS) who
m. 10.7.1784, Tipton. Currently no baptisms found for any children
of this marriage. This is speculation purely based on a 15 y.o.
Joseph GRIFFITHS
present on the 1841 census with widowed Hannah.
Job=Rachel marriage is possibly to an older couple and therefore
not related to Job. Origins of Job are still sought.

Job
WHITEHOUSE died of "a hurt in a Coal Pit" aged
52 on 24.12.1840 (matching dates between registering his son
Thomas's birth in April 1839 and the 1841 census, where Hannah
was a widow living in Wood Street). Informant on death = John
WHITEHOUSE of Princes End. A John WHITEHOUSE was at
Princes End (a local mine). He married Sarah MASON on
25.10.1830 at St. Martin, Tipton. Their eldest child was a Job
WHITEHOUSE c. 3.4.1831 at St. Martin, of Wood St. Tipton.
John may the c. 4.11.1810 at St. Martin s/o John WHITEHOUSE
& Mary. If a relation, then the John may be related
to James WHITEHOUSE.
Born
in 1788, Job would have been of legal age in 1809 to witness
the marriage of a George WHITEHOUSE & Mary. Without
a baptism for Job, this is another tenuous link between this
family and the many other WHITEHOUSE families in the area.
