Creation note

I came across White in wikipedia when there was a recent mention of Hurd's Deep in the media. Googling it appeared there was sufficient for an article. And he was already mentioned on Wikpedia article two or three times at least. I've stewarded this up to about a C-Class but for time and RL. reasons I may not go farther and I leave stewardship to the community who hopeful will spot my inevitable mistakes and improve my style etc (I should really spend a week refining this article but thats not what I've got time for and it would impact my RL commitments). Every time I read the sources I get a little bit more. Thankyou. Djm-leighpark (talk) 10:29, 3 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Timeline

The reading of the source A Naval Biographical Dictionary by William Richard O'Byrne can be very confusing for dates especially 1800-1806. As far as I make it out It's per the following list .. Might have to transfer this to a workbook:

12 December 1800: To Pylades (18 Gun) and made up to Lieutenant (Capt. Jas. Booder) - North Sea

21 July 1802: Alcméne frigate (Capt. John Stiles) - Troop conveyencing

- Next - : Pygmy Cutter (In command?) - French ports near Chausey

16 March 1804: Queen (98 Gun) (Capt. Theophilius Jones) @ Pompey

6 April (following?1805) Sandwich Lugger (as commander under Sir Wm. Sidney Smith) = Ostend and Flushing

28 September (following?1805) Manly gun-rig (in command) - Off Boulougne, North Sea, (then Baltic)
~~Jan 1806 Manly run ashore~~
11 June 1806 (Jackdaw Schooner) - Sheerness and Spithead.

26 September 1806 (Made rank of Commander)

27 November 1806: Weymouth Store ship

I think the above is correct but will change in line if necessary. In particular but a quick read says 11 June 1806 for the Sandwich Cutter but this could likely be a punctuation error.Djm-leighpark (talk) 20:41, 4 March 2019 (UTC) Moved to Workpage.
