Family John WHITE d. 1789, Hilton, Dorset Marriage 30 Apr 1732 Hilton, Dorset [2] Notes - There are 2 other baptisms, that might be possible children :-
Mary, 27/12/1748; but this refers to her being born at Ansty
Elizabeth, 24/6/1751; in Hilton.
If the burial details for Martha are correct, then it would be strange but not impossible to live at Ansty for a short period. On the other hand, there do not seem to be any other John and Martha White, and having just 2 children would be unusual.
I have not found any other relevant marriage between John White and Martha in Hilton though of course there may be a couple married in a nearby village.
Lastly, there is the baptism and burial of Susannah White (daughter of John and Martha), on 5/1/1760. In the burial register it says "of Ansty".

Notes - Surname chosen on the basis that this appears to be the only sensible marriage between a John White and a Martha in Hilton within a reasonable time of the daughter Martha being baptised. So there is nothing very certain, just something that seems more reasonable than anything else.
There is no obvious data on her birth, though 1711 and 1713 seem popular on the internet.
The burial details are based on the assumption that she did die in or around Hilton, and there appears to be no other possibilities. The burial for husband John then follows as the most obvious John White to be buried. Note that both are in Hilton.
