I looked in the B & A FHS marriages for the marriage of Charles WHITE and Margaret, but drew a blank. I looked in the B & A FHS baptisms for children of Charles and Margaret, but couldn't find any. I didn't find any information in the B & A FHS Apprentice Books or Burgess Books on Charles WHITE, coachmaker. I looked in Gordon Beavington's 1851 Bristol census transcription, but couldn't find Charles WHITE, coachmaker in the head of household index. So, Charles WHITE remains a brickwall for now, but I hope you will eventually be able to make a breakthrough in your research on him. Josephine

This Margaret may be a sister, sister-in-law or second wife. What sources are available to trace Charles White the younger as a mariner? I don't have a birthdate for him but have been working with a guess of 1810. Sandy Sheldon Gianni
