| Further Information | British Army Worldwide Index 1841 Patrick White 500 Private 3rd Foot location Kurnaul Bengal Discharge due to imperfect vision and chronic rheumatism In September 1854 when Captain Bruce visited Albany he found that William White was one of the pensioners who had commenced clearing his allotment and erected a cottage, he recommended he be paid the £15. He noted the quality of the land was inferior to that allotted to pensioners at Kojonup but hope the proximity to Albany port would provide a market for any produce. Albany Lot P3 transferred to DAVIS William 1857 then to DAVIS Elizabeth (formerly WHITE) 1860. ARGENTI Bartholomew applied for land in December 1886 |
