This is one of my saddest ancestors for me. She was just 27 when she died, leaving 3 small children. I'm even sadder that I know nothing about her before her marriage.

I have the will of a Richard Hall, whom I believe to be her guardian, but it doesn't mention her or her family.

Although they married in Headley, Hampshire, the marriage record is on Ancestry under Surrey.

Haven't got time to look at this further as a lot going on here, but must return to this. Note the guardian - Richard Hall. This must be a clue.

Edward was a Baptist - were they from the Baptist community??

On the marriage entry it says "With Consent of the Guardian of S Thomason R White" and R White is a witness you don't mention. Why doesn't it say R Hall in that first sentence? (rhetorical Q lol)

Yo said you have the will of a potential Richard Hall. Which Richard Hall is that please?

R White I believe to be Rebecca White, Edward's spinster sister, who looked after one of the sons, Joseph, after Sarah died.

I don't believe it means she was the guardian.

Richard Hall was of Bramshott:

Sarah White died at Bramshott in 1843 and was buried there.
Merry, some time ago you found the death of Sarah for me after I had ordered a couple of incorrect certificates! I was very grateful.

Ooh, eer, I see what you mean! I should have read it again and not gone from memory.

Rebecca White was the only one of the White children (parents George and Elizabeth) to have been born as a Baptist.

Name: Rebecca White
Birth Date: 2 Feb 1801
Birth Place: Guildford, St Mary, Surrey, England
Gender: Female
Event Type: Birth
Father: George White
Mother: Elizabeth Miles
Denomination: Presbyterian, Independent or Baptist
Piece Title: Piece 122: Certificate nos: H 4046-4300 (1834 June 26-1837 June 15)

Perhaps it is supposed to mean the Guardian of Sarah Thomason (i.e. Richard Hall) AND R. White (Edward's sister).

William White was Edward's brother.

William was born on 13th September 1798 in Guildford and Rebecca on 2nd February 1801. William was baptised at St Mary, Guildford but Rebecca was entered as a Baptised, so the family converted between 1798 and 1801.

Thanks.

I was expecting the Richard Hall who died in Petersfield district in 1847 to be the one whose will was proved in 1851, but he was only 37 years of age which seems unlikely. Is R Hall aged 64 in Bramshot in 1841 the one who wrote the will (I guess I should have looked at the date it was signed!)?

The will is proved in 1851, so perhaps it isn't the correct Richard Hall. Possibly a son?
The will was written in 1848 and a Codicil was added in 1851.

I will have to re-visit this as it is a while since I looked at this file.

Edward White and Sarah Thomason married by Licence. However, I can't find any record of it.
