Elizabeth WHITE, b. Est 1682, d. Yes, date unknown (Great Grandmother)Notes - I know nothing about William between his baptism and his burial!
He may have lived as a bachelor in Bredgar all his days, or he may have married and had a family in a parish whose records I haven't seen and aren't on the IGI, moving to live near his brothers and their families before his death.
If he married or had children it was not in Bredgar, and if he had sons their male line had died out by 1837.
I feel that most likely he was single or married but childless. - (Research):The IGI shows 2 children baptised in Boughton under Blean in the 1790s as offspring of a William and Sarah Gotham; I did wonder if William was this William. However, examination of the KFHS transcripts shows there was a Gorham family with these names, and I believe a misreading of Gorham as Gotham has led to these IGI entries.
