Henry Thomas remains a mystery. He doesn't appear to be a son of either Thomas White and Sarah Pim, or of Thomas' second wife Emma Julia Annie (Wright) White and her first husband George White, based on birth registrations in the 1860s, and based on the burial records he doesn't appear to be buried there.
