Find Ancestors

Trying to find the family link between my father ,Abraham Lewis White, and my Mother Ada Elizabeth Ensor, married in 1932. I think they where second cousins?,The Ensor surname is somehow linked to the White Family line of Portland Dorset
My grandfather John White B1867 and Grandmother Jane White (formely White) B1869


Have found Mtr Gmother Elizabeths younger brother William Shelley born in Portland Dorset. born 1885. Now trying to locate his parents
.Any help would be much appriciated.
Regards. David White

the only way to do that is to get your parents marriage cert and follow each line backwards.

Thanks Shirley, have got parents marriage cert which shows father's names as - John White, Quarryman and - Soloman Ensor, Pearl worker. Which confirms your findings.
Still trying to find how Ada and Abraham are possible second cousin's, still trying to find the link through the previous 2nd and 3rd White family marriages.

On target again Shirley, That is my mother, but how she was born in Hackney is another mystery. Grandad Soloman was a pearl worker (button cutter) I thought, based in B'ham. Why move to London?.

Thanks, correct those are my relations.
Still trying to find the previous link between the White & Ensor familys.

Thanks Andrew, that is my father.

Correct again Shirley, Solomon 14 in 1877 was my matr Gfather he married Elisabeth (Shelley) and the Shelley's may be the link, I,m still searching.
Thank's once again. David.

Have mothers (Ada) birth cert. and yes she was born in Hackney, 33 magaret street. The only reasonable link between B'ham and London would have been the pearl button industry. Gfather was a pearl button cutter.

Thanks for your help, David
