First Name: Robert Hoddle Driberg

Date: 17 March 1888
Place: Born in Stroud in 1838
Source: Australian Town and Country Journal
Details: Mr. Robert Hoddle Driberg White, of Tahlee, Port Stephens, New South Wales, was born in Stroud, New South Wales, on May 19, 1838. He is a son of Mr. J. C. White (who was born in Ceylon, and was private secretary of Sir EdwardParry, at Tahlee, 57 years ago, and was afterward assist- ant general manager of the A. A. Company), and a grandson of Mr. Hoddle, a cadet of the Royal Engineers, who held the positions of Deputy Surveyor-General, Sydney, and Surveyor-General of Victoria, and laid out the cities of Goulburn and Melbourne with wide streets, in accordance with the teachings of modern hygienic science. The subject of this sketch was educated by Mr. Dodds, the Revs. J. B. Laughton, T. Aitkin, and R. L. King, and Judge Cary, of Sydney and also in Melbourne. He began life as private clerk to Captain Brownrigg, R.N., general manager of the A.A. Company, at Bowral, and for a time was in the office of the late Mr. T. S. Mort. He was after- ward an officer of the Bank of New South Wales for 25 years. In 1858, while Mr. White was accountant of the branch in Deniliquin, the bank was stuck up by bushrangers, who stole £8000 ; the whole of which was subsequently re- covered by the late John Kelly. Some years later, when in company with Mr. Buckland, manager of the Gympie branch of the Bank of New South Wales, Mr. White was again stuck up by armed bushrangers. On this occasion his services were rewarded by the bank with a magnificent silver tea service, and by the Queensland Government with a silver-mounted rifle. While in Queensland Mr. White held a commission as captain of the volunteer force. He is a justice of the peace for New South Wales, Victoria, and Queensland. In December, 1882, he was elected a member of the Legislative Assembly of New South Wales, for Gloucester, and was re-elected unopposed in October, 1885. He married the third daughter of Dean Cowper, of Sydney, and has a family of sons and daughters. In 1886 he went to England in connection with the Indian and Colonial Exhibition, and had the distinguished honor, with his wife and eldest daughter, of passing a day at Windsor Castle, and was presented to her Majesty, who was graciously pleased to accept a pair of beautifully carved emu eggs, mounted in silver. On the return voyage of Mr. White and his family from England, his eldest son (Edward Shepherd White) died on Christmas Day. Subsequently Mr. White then retired from public life
