Correspondence (E-Mail) received from Bernard White
and Anne Winter Williams re the data above and its links to the WHITE Family
for reviewand comments and updates, if any:-
Thank you so much all of you.
First Fazli Sameer (I don't know how I should address you),
Thank
you for making these connections for me.
I
am so grateful that you are helping me as I begin this journey. I have
responded directly to Anne in the following. I hope that others will read
on and see if any thing rings a bell.
Greetings
Anne (?),
I'm
not sure how to address you.
I
am so grateful that you took the time to email me. This is a very
exciting beginning indeed.
Here's
some more information.
My family is also decended
from the White family in Colombo Ceylon, but obviously a different White
family. Colonel Abraham White B 1787 d 1818 m Elisabeth Van Driberg
b 1790 Colombo Ceylon. They had seven children Susannah, Charlotte,James, George, Abraham, William and Charles.Does anyone know how to find out any more
information on this family?
Unfortunately
I don't know much of anything past John Bernard White and Cecilia Hawke.
Their parents were John Bernard White and Cecilia White
nee Hawke. John Bernard had a sister named Alice and two brothers one of
them named Henry.
John Bernard and Cecilia were married in a catholic
church in Matale in 1914. Our family home in Kandy,
which my father inherited from his father was called Torrington Cottage. The
boys went to Trinity College in Kandy. My father finished up his school
days at St. Joseph's.
Cecilia
died on January 14, 1931 in Kandy from some soil poisoning (some bacteria).
Duncan went on to win the silver medal in the 1948 olympics. Rumour has it
that Cecilia was of a mixed Tamil background.
John
Bernard was an apothecary. He would dispense medicines to the local
people.
My
father Stanley married Eleanor Wickramasakera on
December 28, 1940 in St. Philip Neri's Catholic
Church in Colombo.
My
mother Eleanor went to Kandy Convent School. My father also had a cousin
named Doris who went to the same school. My father also has a cousin
named Vicky White who is one of the sons of Henry White (John Bernard's
brother). Vicky still lives in Kandy.
My
mother's mother was Maude Wickramasakera nee
Robinson. She was married to another Henry. My mother's siblings
are Anton, Tiny, Ian, Henry, Rose and Audrey (who died at an early age). My
father has written a biography published by Carlton Press. It is full of
clues. Perhaps you would know someone who is interested in it. I have
copies to send out.
I
am seeing my father tonight (July 2003). He is still alive and living in
Anaheim, California. I will share your email with him to see if he
recognized anything. Stanley is the oldest living White from our family
line. As you might know Duncan, his younger brother passed away about 4
years ago now in Warwickshire, England. His widow Angela and their
children live on.
My father has been experiencing increasing health
problems. He is 87 years old but still completley
with all his senses in tact.
I
know that the name Rita rings a bell. I will ask him tonight.
Thank you again for your kindness in responding.
I am brand new to this genealogy game and can use all
the help I can get.
I am also growingly interested in the history of
Ceylon/Sri Lanka. Especially from the
"Burgher" perspective. The British
officers who fathered children with native women. (which
is my story, I believe.)
Thank you again.

Dear
Bernard,
I
was in a convent in Ceylon with a White family of girl twins, Shirley and Marie
and their older sister, Rita. They also had a brother.We
were told we were related to them but cannot find out how?
Duncan White was their cousin so they must be your
cousins too. Shirley told me that their grandfather was a medical officer
around the Kandy area and that the family had lost much property at
one time.
I know Gammaduwa very well if
it is the place you refer to because my father once managed an estate near to
it known as Opalgalla near Matale.
My uncle Willie actually managed an estate and lived in Gammaduwa
belonging to my Aunt's husband's family. His own wife's family
owned one in Rattota close by.I
believe Shirley's grandpa was of mixed race and she said her ancestor had come
from
London.
Our own White ancestor was Anthony Samuel White, whose daughter was Evelyn
Maria. While looking for other ancestors around the Bethnall
Green area near Spitalfields, I found a person of
that name whose parents had been silk weavers just like some of ours. The date
of this Anthony Samuel White's baptism seemed to be about the time ours would
have been.I found a family of Whites
in
the book 'Tombstones and Monuments' and will send you info. from
it which maybe on our own family website. It re: a family of Whites descended
from a Dr Abraham White who was a Doctor, who left a
large family when he died, some of whom where taken
care of by the Governor's family I think. I will look it all up and send to you
because they have the name John among them. Have you heard
of
this family??
Regards,
Anne@cotts

20.8.2003 Dr. Malcolm Jansze mjansze@sltnet.lk in Sri Lanka wrote Hi Bernard What a surprise getting this email from you relayed through Fazli. I know your family in Kandy very well. Maybe you remember that next door to old Dr Whites house in Udawattakele lived a schoolmaster from Trinity by the name of Ivan Jansze. He was my uncle and I visited them very often, and knew old Dr White very well. I also met your family at parties etc. I remember Dawn and Errol - but you must have qualified as one of the brats at that stage! - and then your family left for Canada. Also you used to live near Kingswood College in Kandy, and my parents stayed about a mile away at Getembe. I am Vernon Jansze's son. I do genealogy as a hobby, and have been doing so for donkeys years. I have quite a bit on the Whites of whom quite a few remain. However I trade info for info - so be prepared for umpteen questions - and so will I. First what happened to all your sisters and brother - Dawn, Errol, Ingrid, Mari, Ramona & Ivy - and perhaps even more? All I know is that Errol m Sherry in USA and had 2 children. Could you please update me on these families and your own too. Second your fathers brothers - Duncan, Douglas & Freddie. Douglas m (a) Norah Eunice de Joodt, (b) Glory Solomon and had a daughter by each mariage. Duncan m Angela Siebel and died fairly recently leaving 5 children whose names I do not know. Freddie m Lavender Brohier and had a son and a daughter. Any info on these families is welcome. Next - your grandmother Maud Robinson who died in 1997 - do you know anything at all about her family? Any scraps would help. For the moment that is all the questions. (It is a great pity that I did not ask questions from old Dr White - but I was very shy about genealogy at that stage. John Bernard White medical practitioner b.1882 d.18.7.1965 m Mary Cecilia Hawke. He was the son of Charles Leonard White, tea planter at Gampola & Bandara Menike who had 2 other sons and a daughter as far as I know so far. They were Henry George White b.1885 m Emily Hawke and had 7 children, Edward James b.1896 m (a) Alexandra Reid and had 5 children (b) ...... and had 2 more. Desmond White of Kotte is the eldest son and is still around. JB also had a sister Alice Gertrude b.1895 who married Don Joseph Gregory Ranasinghe.
So far we have not been able to come across Charles Leonards parents. although there are several White families living in Ceylon -specially Kandy district- before him.
Hoping this would help you - and nice to hear news of your family. RegardsMalcolm Jansze Sri Lanka
Additional information received from Ms Anne Winter Williams which needs extensive research to identify whether it connects with the above family:- Notes
from Anne Winter Williams in UK:-
Quote:
All this comes from the Sri Lanka website and ours. Malcolm Jansze emailed and seems to include the family of our school mates, Shirley & Marie Whites ancestors with those of the Dr. I gave him the information Christine gave me of the 7 kids of the Dr (Abraham White) and put him right as our 3 familys have not been connected yet. I have a suspicion that they are because our James Winter was also married at St. Marys Lambeth and both Christine and the Bethnall Green Whites have exact similar names and born a year apart!(George William White was brother of A.S of Bethnall Green and is also a son of Dr White. If our 3 families were all together on the Genealogy Website matters can be seen more clearly. At least we ought to put the Abe White info from Tombstones so folk can see our A.S is not a son of his as is put about. Unquote 1 Dr Abraham White, b:1781(?)-1818
2 Anthony Samuel White of Bethnall Green 2 George William White
See Winter Family #1158
23.9.03
Dr Abraham White married Theodora Eliz. VON Driberg not VAN.This ladies'
family descended from Friedrich Wilhelm von Driberg
who was Commandant of Mullaitivu and died in 1807. He
was probably a son of Diederich Carolus
von Driberg who was Capt.Lt
in the VOC and died in 1804.Capt Charles Driberg
signed his name as 'Driberg' in a wedding register
and later as 'Drieberg' the von was dropped early.
This
family was not in anyway connected to the family
descended from Johannes Gerardus Drieberg
who in 1878 married Johanna Horn apparently. My 'suspected ancestor, Anthony Sam.White is recorded in the register of St Matthews Bethnall Green which I have viewed on microfiche whereas
the 7 children of Dr Abraham White must have been
recorded in Ceylon where he married. Any info. will be gratefully received especially baptismal dates of
the Doctor's children in Jaffna etc.
