Hi Alan, Yes, the Lowthorpe registers are held at the CRO in Beverley. The IGI entry gives his mother as Elizabeth, with no father mentioned, and it is possible that he was illegitimate, and maybe his mother gave him his father's name of Whytehead. Sorry I'm not going in the near future, but maybe someone else is.
