Hi there,
Is anyone researching the PHILPOT(T) family from Thanet/Ramsgate?
Thanks,
Sean.

Hi
I'm researching the Philpott's in Whitstable. Its a new branch I've just started on so don't have many as yet, I'll keep my eye out for any Ramsgate links and if I find any I'll let you know.
I'm as far back as Stephen Philpott (my grt grt grt grandfather) born abt 1813 in Whitstable/Sandgate (censuses differ) who married Ellen and had kids, Elizabeth, William, Ellen, George, Amelia, Stephen, Richard and James. I'm not too sure about the Sandgate bit as everything else seems to be Whitstable.
You never know we may meet on a twig somewhere!

re "Stephen Philpott born abt 1813 in Whitstable/Sandgate (censuses differ) who married Ellen and had kids, Elizabeth, William, Ellen, George, Amelia, Stephen, Richard and James."
I have him on my tree with extra progeny, Frederick, born circa 1853/54 and living with the family on the 1861 census.
My current interest is in James John born 1851/52 who married Charlotte Webb and then Jane Rigden. However, I expect to find in due course that Stephen b circa 1811-13 is the brother of a William Henry, blacksmith, born circa 1807/08 who is a direct lineal ascendent of mine.
The Whitstable Philpott families seem almost certainly to be all related and to converge around the 1790s or 1800s.

Hi Grey Squirrel. Oops I forgot to update my tree to include Frederick that you told me about on Oystertown.
Hi Suzannah. I found your trees on worldconnect and you have a William Henry Philpott born 1808 who married Ann and had kids Emily, Sarah, Rachel, William Henry, James Alfred, Rosannah, Albert Osbourne.
It looks like between us we may have found four brothers and sisters: Emily born 1801-05, William born 1808, Stephen born 1813 and James born 1816.
If anyone has access to the parish records it would be nice if we could get the proof, so if anyone has access to them and wouldnt mind giving a bit of time to looking I'd be everso grateful.

Hi,
I have a little more for you now. The tree I am researching also connects to Stephen Philpott via his sister Emily who married Henry Walker b.1800 Whitstable occ Mariner. I believe that Emily & Stephen Philpott were children of Richard Philpott & Ann Barham who were married in St Pauls, Whitstable in 1794. There were seven other siblings that I can find, all born in Whitstable btw 1795 & 1816.
Also, I found nine children for your Stephen Philpott & Eleanor Tall including Elizabeth, William, Ellen, George, Amelia, Stephen, Richard, James b. 1851 (m) Charlotte Webb; and Frederick b. 1853.
Great to see a photo of Amelia Philpott Adams b.1843. Any idea how old she was when this photo was taken?
I have the following information re Emily Philpott b. 1800 which you might be interested in . It also shows her as a widow living with her widowed brother Stephen the blacksmith between 1871 & 1881:
Here is her baptism:-
1804 Dec 16 Emily D of Richard and Ann PHILPOT
Whitstable, Kent
She married, mariner, Henry Walker on 18th June 1826 in Whitstable and they had at least six children:- Phillip, Annie, Philpott, William ., George and Henry.
She was widowed some time between 1843 and 1851. I don't know what became of her husband Henry Walker but presume he died at sea. I have not been able to trace a death registration for him locally.
Emily (63) shows up on the 1871 Census living at 3 Fountain St, Whitstable, Kent, with her widowed brother James Philpott the Blacksmith:-
James Philpott, Head, Wid, 52, Blacksmith, b.Whitstable, Kent
Emily Walker, Sister, Wid, 63, occ: Laundress, b.Whitstable, Kent
Another ten years passes and on the 1881 Census(1) Emily (76) is still living at 3 Fountain Street, Whitstable, with her widowed brother:-
Emily Walker, (76), widow, sister, born Whitstable, Kent
James Philpott (64), widower, head,occ: Blacksmith, born Whitstable,Kent
Ref: Whitstable District: FHL Film 1341229. RG11 0964/16 25
Emily lived to be a very old lady and died aged 95 on the 18th October 1896 at 79 Victoria Street, Whitstable, in the presence of her daughter in law Eliza (Wyatt) Walker, who registered the death on the 19th October 1896.
Hope this is of some help.

Hi Juniper,
The information is great.
The photograph of Amelia is part of family group around 1890 1900, which would make her around 45 to 55 years old. Amelia had at least 7 sons to William Adams :-
William J Adams 1865, Edward R Adams 1868, Arther Adams 1870, Alfred Adams 1877,
Josiah Adams 1878, Albert Adams 1881, and my Grandfather David Adams 1883-1962.
I have another photograph of Amelia when younger with a little girl on her lap, could be a younger sister but will have to make a lower res of it to post it.
The family moved to South Shields around 1900 do not have much information of what happened to them from 1890, They were all mariners.
I have William in 1891 as a border in Westoe South Shields.
Then on board a ship in 1901 at London Docks aged 62.
Amelia was in Whitstable with the family in 1881.
Cannot find anything for 1891 but may have found her visiting in Camberwell, London in 1901.
Nothing after that.
Their eldest son William J Adams was in Westoe aged 26 in 1891, and 1901 and married Ann Jane Brannen and had a child Sarah A Adams in 1888.
Edward R Adams was in Whitstable in 1881 aged 13, but have nothing more on him.
Arther Adams Married an Esther and had a daughter Mary A Adams and lived at 398 John Williams Street, South Shields in 1901. I think Arther died at sea and his brother Alfred Adams then Married Esther.
Alfred then married a Mary Ann Maguire and had a daughter Noreen Adams in 1927.
Josiah Adams was in Whitstable in 1881 aged 3 but have no more info on him,
Albert Adams was born in Whitstable in 1881 and have photograph of him in his 40's. I know he lived in South Shields somewhere.
David Adams the black sheep of the family lived in South Shields, ran away to sea at 14.
My mother says for all the rest of the family lived so close to them they never visited.
All the best Willowmac

Hi,
Here are the Photographs of Amelia and the Adams Family.
-
This is Amelia Philpott and girl.
-
Hi,
Wow! Thank you so much. Great to see the pics and information about Amelia's family.
I did manage to open the third pic and like you wonder who the little girl is.
Obviously they are in their best or new clothes and possibly a wedding day as the little girl is holding a flower.
Have you checked weddings around the early to mid 1860s to see if one of the siblings got married then?
I have checked little girls on the Walker line in case she is one of ours, and only child I can find who might be a possibility is Julia Walker born 1861 however that is rather late. she could more than likely be one of the Philpott cousins. Guess no way of knowing after all this length of time but definitely family as all dressed up for the occasion.
Cameras were not that common outside of studios in those days, which makes me think it probably was a wedding day and a family member snapped this in the back yard when they got home.
Have had a look at what I have on top of the tree Richard Philpott and found this:-
I believe this is his marriage:-
1794 May 31 Richard PHILPOT Tp Ann BARHAM St Pauls, Cant L John Brice
Could this be his burial in Whitstable:-
1843 Dec 13 Richard PHILPOT 71 Whitstable
I found this list in the Forum on the Oystertown website (Feb 2008):-
Whitstable Parish Register KFHS CD-ROM22 Baptisms
4361 1800 Dec 28 Sarah D of Richard and Ann PHILPOTT
4425 1802 Dec 26 Richard S of Richard and Ann PHILPOTT
4679 1807 Mar 22 Thomas S of Richard and Ann PHILPOTT
4735 1808 May 08 Wm Henry S of Richard and Ann PHILPOTT
Whitstable Parish Register KFHS CD-ROM22 Marriages

Thanks again for your kind help. Very grateful.

Hi,
It look like the first family photograph is of William Adams family, I had thought the woman seated was the same as the second photo but maybe is my Great, great grandmother Bethia Ratcliff.
Cheers Willowmac.

PHILPOTT FROM DEAR KENT
Know that you are doing Philpotts in Thanet.
Are these any connection with Philpott - mainly mariners - all born in Deal. Any relations of George Edward Augustus Philpott 1844 son of William 1816 would be great.They were involved in lots of rescues at sea and at least one was in the Marines. Thanks .

Hi,
Sorry, am only looking at Richard Phillpot's line in Whitstable and have not got any further back on that line - or sideways !
Perhaps others with connection to Phillpot tree have done more research on that line and can help with a Deal connection.
Good luck.
Juniper

OK good luck to you too.

sorry to use this topic but I needed to get in touch with JUNIPER re John and Bridget Coleman family. The relevant topic was closed. I am descended from his brother Richard who came to Australia. I have some information on John's family to share and a lot on Richard's line if you want it. If anyone is in direct contact with JUNIPER please pass this on!
