First Australian Family
It is probable that the earliest Whaite to come to Australia was one John Whaite, who before 1850 had arrived in Alberton South Australia and married there an Elizabeth Jane Boyd/e.
From his death records, it has been estimated that he was born c 1823, possibly in London or Manchester, but alas SA records of the time did not give parents' names.
Going by the christian names of his descendents and from family stories, a Manchester birth which could have been that of this John, was the one mentioned in 1841 Census said to be born c 1826, a son of Samuel Whaite by his first wife Sarah Hyde and therefore a brother to George Whaite.
Until further research is finished, details of his descendents are not included here, but families of deceased members may be available through the contact address above
