I have the name of PHIPPEN in my family history.  A relation of my grandmother Jennette Hampton Hamblin, who was known to us as Auntie Flo (so far, I believe Florence was a cousin of my grandmother) was married to a Tommy Phippen.  I never met him.  Florence was a widow in the 1940's.  I was once 'farmed out' with German measles to stay at her home.  I was about 7 or 8 at the time (1946/7).  She used to refer to Tommy in conversations with other adults, and I have a belief that he worked in London in the Entertainment Business  (possibly in Agency work, not on the Stage) and possibly killed in London during the Blitz.   I have not researched this link as yet as it is off to one side of my Tree, but I will be looking into it sometime soon.  There were no children as I recall.  I did note that a Thomas Phippen of a suitable age was born in Somerset and I will look out the details if you wish
