Agnes Edith Fooks was born in Dartford, Kent, England in 1851. She married Rashleigh Holt-White in Dartford on 23 December 1879, vice-president of the Selborne Society.
Mrs. Holt White was the author and illustrator of The butterflies and moths of Teneriffe (1894). Her husband, Rashleigh, edited the book. She was a connection by marriage of Gilbert White, of Selborne. In 1892–93, Mrs. Holt White spent the winter in Teneriffe for her health.
