A spinster residing at Brussels in 1834 when she counterclaimed unsuccessfully for compensation on Tomlinson's estate in Antigua as a legatee of Penelope Tomlinson.
Penelope Tomlinson was the daughter of Lydia's great uncle, John Tomlinson (d. 1735). In her will dated 18/07/1802, Penelope left, among other legacies, 拢200 to Lydia's brother John who was aged under 15 at the time. In the event of John's early death, the 拢200 was to be shared equally between Lydia and her sister Elizabeth Hamilton White - so it seems that John had not survived.
She was probably the Mary Lydia otherwise Lydia White formerly of 61 Sloane Street dying at Brussels in 1874 leaving 拢7000.
T71/877 Antigua claim no. 111 (Tomlinson's).
