I'm trying to ascertain whether my 3x great grandparents Robert & Mary WHITE, plus family, were still living in Weymouth in 1841.

Robert born ca 1795 Mary bap 1798, seven children Robert John William (my gg granfather) was the eldest at 18 with the youngest Henry born 1837.

Unfortunately the number of WHITEs in the area hinders identification. Robert was a sailor

Henry's birth cert (assuming he was born after Sept 1837, would give an address which might help identify the family in 1841.
