    Captain Robert John Lillywhite, 12.4.1893 – 26.11.1916

    Captain Robert John Lillywhite, 12.4.1893 – 26.11.1916 Nicholas Shaw Introduction Captain Robert John Lillywhite was born on the Oving Road in Westhampnett, near Chichester in 1893 and was a cousin of James Lillywhite (Junior) the Sussex and England Cricketer, who captained the first English Test side to tour Australia. He was one of the first aviators to obtain a flying certificate on January 1st 1914. I wanted to explore his connections with the city of Chichester. Biography Robert John Lillywhite was born on 12th April 1893 on the Oving Road in Westhampnett, near Chichester. He was the third eldest child of four children, born to John Lillywhite, brickburner manufacturer, of Westhampnett and his wife Elizabeth Maura Kennett 1 Lillywhite, formerly Vaisey, of Queen’s Square, Westminster. The other children, mentioned in the 1901 Census are Harry Vaisey Lillywhite, aged 11, Frances H, aged 10 and finally Robert J, aged 7. The census of 1911 revealed that John and Elizabeth Lillywhite were still residing at Westhampnett, however the four children were not to be found at that address. Robert had left home to join the royal Navy as a seventeen year old. His rank was boy/class. He was on the “Impregnable” and the ‘First Class Battleship’ “Prince of Wales” and was in Gibraltar when the 1911 Census was taken. His brother Harry Vaisey Lillywhite had boarded a boat to Canada on 13th March 1911 and arrived at the Port of St John, New Brunswick, Canada. The vessel was called the “Lake Chaplain”. Robert was later discharged from the Royal Navy for medical reasons.
