Biography
James Handyside was born 27th November, 1849, Walkerville, South Australia - just a few months after his mother, Elizabeth Handyside, arrived in South Australia, from London via the Emily. His birth was registered in Adelaide giving his father's name as James Duncan. [1] [2]
On 28th January, 1850, his mother married Robert White. James appears to have kept his mother's surname, though, and was known by his mother's surname, including variations: Handyside, Anderside and Andersite.
By 1879, James was in the Colony of Victoria, in the Wimmera area.
In 1879, in Victoria, as James Anderside, he married a widow, Eliza Dixon. [3]
They had at least seven children before Eliza passed away in 1894, her death registered at Jeparit, Victoria.

I've added some sourcing and bio, and changed his birth surname - it appears his father was James Duncan. Robert White was his step-father. I found he was born Handyside, married into my lines as Anderside, and died as Andersite. I don't know if he ever used the surname White. Regards Christine
