Elizabeth Browning writes: “My g.grandmother Helen Brinson Ferris, from Cowes IOW, was married to John White born 1816 of Up Cerne. They had one son also John White in 1841.John senior died in 1845 in Up Cerne and their son died at the age of 7 in 1847/8 who is also buried in Up Cerne. If anyone has information about the family, pictures, reasons for deaths I would be grateful to hear from them.”
