The Ancestors of my Nana - Lilian Adeline White

Warrington Cemetery, Manchester Road, Warrington In 2007 Gwyneth Hansen ( Great Grandaughter of Happy Pitt Cunningham White - the eldest of Henry Brown White and Rosa Carter's children ) went in search of the family grave.   Buried in the family grave are Nana Lilian Adeline's grandparents: Henry Brown White (d. 1906) and Roza White (nee Carter d.1893)  and her two unmarried Aunts:  Violet Ada Francis White (d. 1930) and Lilian Sadler White (d.1939). Gwyneth's only guidance was this photo that Nana Lilian Adeline had that  was taken on the occasion of Lilian Sadler's funeral July 1939 - hence all of the flowers.

Lilian Sadler White  1861 - 1939 Lilian Adeline White's Aunt - Sister to her father Gilbert Greenall White Born on 30 March 1861 in Bloomsbury, Middlesex, Lilian was the fourth child of Henry Brown White and Rosa Carter. Lilian Sadler never married and in later years lived with her sister Violet Ada Francis.
