Margaret White

Early information (the Visitations, etc.) claimed that Richard White married a Margaret "Sherley", a belief perpetuated in and through the infamous "Genesis of the White Family" by the fraudulent "genealogist" Emma Siggins White.

Later information (History of Parliament Online, etc.) gives her family name as Strelley, and claims that she was the daughter of Sir Nicholas Strelley of Nottinghamshire. (The situation regarding children of this Sir Nicholas is very confused, as he seems to have had three wives, children by at least two of them - mainly daughters - and possibly a son out of wedlock altogether.)
