Wm White & Lettice Street of St Clement Danes, Wes

Many thanks, all ! unfortunately, doesn't add a great deal to what we already knew. The John Henley who married Elizabeth benbow is defintiely a different one (a cousin of our John H). There are other Letitias and lettices who might be possible but the one from St Clement Danes is the only one to fit all the available information including having a sister named Ann who married William Henley - and 1851 census entry birthplace of London St Clements. A puzzle with the birth dates of John henley and his younger brother William Ralph - too close together. I am visiting bedford archives next week to look at the original register to see if there is an explanation. Posibly Wm Ralph was an adoptee. Lettice White birth in 1773 is not in IGI because of damaged film, but I found her in the original register at Westminster archives a few weeks ago. Question: would her sister Ann Maria born 1785 be likely to have dropped the 'Maria' in her 1805 marriage to William Henley? if unlikely, I would need to go back to the drawing board....

Looking for any information at all about this White family (Wm and Lettice married 1772). Daughter Lettice (1773) lived in Brighton from 1838 to her death in 1858. Her younger sister Ann (1785) married William Henley in Woburn. All else is mystery.
