I am trying to find any descendants of two brothers Bernard and William White who were born in Ross, Herefordshire.

Bernard White b: 1904, d: 1982
William Lewis White b: 1901, d: 1992

Father: Louis P White, b: 1883, d: 1962
Mother: Mary Carpenter b: 1882

Louis and Mary were Tailors.

Mary married again in 1922 to Alfred Teague and they had a son, Nelson, who died in 1946.

William White Married Dorothy Pole in 1924 and they had a son, Ronald. We have now hit a brick wall, so any help or information would be very much appreciated. :)

Try search "Search Trees" at the top of this page to see if anyone else has this family in their tree.

Thank you for such a quick reply. :) We have the 1911 census, but we are trying to find a living descendent. We've ordered a few marriage certificates on hunches, but we're coming up with nothing. :(

It's a real long shot, I know. There may not be any living descendants left.

PricklyHolly, I've already done that and have found one tree member who, it turns out is my first cousing 4x removed! :)

He has no answers on these two people either. :(
