It appears that (Henry) Alwyn WHITE (1909 - 18 VII 1988) was married to Margaret HUNT (c.1910/11 - 12 XI 2005). He was High Sheriff of County Armagh in 1961, and was a son of Thomas Henry WHITE (10 IV 1869 - 18 XI 1933) and his wife (and kinswoman?), Anne WHITE, née WHITE (4 II 1869 - 1 V 1964). Alwyn White's paternal grandfather, Thomas Henry WHITE (11 III 1822 - 10 VII 1911), in 1841 founded the White's Oats business which is now Ireland's largest oat miller and breakfast cereal producer.
