Hello, Welcome to my family tree website. I have uploaded my tree here on 
tribalpages for all to view as I had intended for sometime, although 
originally 
I was hoping to have it actually on my website Dover Soul The Soul of Dover, 
but due to my inexperience of web knowledge I couldn't. So I have uploaded my 
tree, thanks to tribalpages so all those on the web can view it. There are 
however more information on my very own website Dover Soul at 
http://doversoul.tripod.com under the family history section and also here on 
this very site. I have included some information and photographs of various 
people in each family line and will continue to add more information.

I'm Terry Jay Cleaver and I started researching my family history in 1998 
after 
my great nan Beatrice May Whitewood sadly passed away. My Aunt Gloria Cleaver 
introduced me to genealogy (however you spell it!) and I have her to thank for 
opening me up to this eyeopener. Through my own, her and internet research I 
have managed so far to get a tree of 1144 people and flush out some of the 
heritage of our family. 
This tree is in memory of Beatrice May  Whitewood 1924-1997, Louisa Kathleen 
Henley, June Ann Whitewood and Brian Cox (June and Brian sadly died last year 
2003 both in their 60's).The tree is also now in memory of my nan, Linda May 
Henley who sadly died on 16th July 2004.


I hope you enjoy looking around and send me any comments or post them in the 
guestbook.

WITH THANKS
To My Family

WHITEWOOD

http://www.doverwarmemorialproject.org.uk/Casualties/Civilians/SurnamesUtoZ.htm, 2007.
Whitewood. H. J. 
Henry John Whitewood. He died on 16 June 1944, aged 60 at the Casualty Hospital after 
having been injured on 7 June at the Marine Station. He had been a fitter on the 
Southern Railway, and several SR workmates acted as bearers: G. Brown, F. Chant, R. 
Easton, T. Joyner, J Partridge, W. Twist.  The coffin was draped with the Union Flag. 
The first part of the service was held at St Martin's church, near Henry's home at 36 
Markland Road. The Rev W F Jenkins officiated. Henry's grave is unmarked, but lies in 
this area, behind the graves of Cyril Coe and Jack Pulham, marked by CWGC headstones. 

Mrs Alice Lottie Whitewood (nee Leveridge) was Henry's wife. They had been married 
nearly 38 years, having wed at Peckham on 27th July 1907. After the funeral she 
thanked her friends and neighbours for their sympathy, and also the Casualty hospital 
and members of the Southern Railway for their kindness, and for all the floral 
tributes sent.  Mrs Whitewood died in the 1980s, aged around 90. She was a 
seamstress, making dresses for Danny La Rue amongst others. 

The Whitewood family came from the Isle of Wight, but Henry and Alice (n?e Leveridge) 
probably married in London. A family story says they were evacuated from London to 
Dover.                     with thanks to Terry Cleaver 

note: R. Easton, coffin bearer, was Maggie S-K's granddad
