    • I haven't seen the PR entry for myself, and am not aware that it shows Dorothy as a widow but that was normal at the time; often the only clear evidence is the marriage licence.
      However, I do think she was probably only a White by marriage, and previously the wife of Thomas WHITE. See notes on that marriage for more thought.
