George Bagwell White (1783-
There have been several ‘White’ families living at West Lulworth over the years. This article focuses on George Bagwell White and his immediate family. Another article will follow on George James Winzar White & family.
George Bagwell White
George was baptised in West Lulworth in 1783. He was the son of Andrew White (1741-
At the age of 12, George was hired by his father to John Foot, a yeoman of West Lulworth, for £4 a year. At 14, George was then apprenticed to John Sanson of Winfrith Newburgh, a carpenter and wheeler, for seven years during which time he resided with his master. At 21, George went to Wimborne to apply for work with James Perman, carpenter and joiner. He was successful and his starting wages were 12 shillings a week. His wages gradually increased to 16 or 17 shillings a week.
George married Sarah Barrett (c.1781-
Mary Ann White (1808-
Towards the end of 1821, George (Senior) was taken ill for about a month and received 15 shillings poor relief but on 4 January 1922, George and his family were the subject of a removal order requiring them all to be removed and conveyed out of the parish of Wimborne Minster to the parish of West Lulworth. The ‘examination’ of George took place on 9 January 1822 and some correspondence was exchanged between the two parishes with the West Lulworth Overseers saying they had no objection to relieving the ‘Pauper’ and his family at Wimborne.
Whether the family were removed to West Lulworth is not clear, but they ended up in Kingston, near Corfe Castle. As well as being a carpenter, George was also a Sunday School teacher and we do know that William Morton Pitt had established a Sunday School at Kingston.
George’s wife Sarah died in 1838 of cancer and is buried in the churchyard immediately outside Kingston old church. The informant of the death was Sarah White (their daughter) who gave her abode as Scholes Farm.
On 10 June 1844, George married for a second time, this time to Martha Worledge (c.1810-
George and Martha had one son, Edmund Worledge White (1845-
