OHN WHITEHOUSE was born 5 October 1792 in Tipton,
Staffordshire, England - his parentage is unknown. Names and dates of
John's family were nicely written down by his grandson Edwin. Family
tradition has it that John married MARY WRIGHT and indeed a marriage
record was found at Kingswinford, dated 25 December 1814, where none was
found at Dudley or Tipton between a John Whitehouse and any Mary. John
was most often described in baptismal and census records as a Boatloader,
but occasionally as a miner or laborer. He died 11 February 1867 of
"Natural Decay" at Canal Street, Tipton.
