(18*-18*) Also known as W. White. Landowner and partner (with L.P. Cauvin) in the Drury Lane Theatre in Cape Town. He sold a piece of his land on Consitution Hill to the trustees (L.P. Cauvin and ) , for the purpose of building the theatre.
He had however apparently kept shares for himself. In 1848 he put the theatre and its costumes and sets up for sale, along with his other Cape properties, as he was emigrating. Apparently bought by L.P. Cauvin for £235.
