thank you so much! I had heard that the extra 'P' in Phillipps was a grant from a king at some stage, but verifying everything is a bit of a challenge! George Phillipps was my great grandfather - his son George Richard was my grandfather.

Hi,
I haven't been on for awhile (too busy/ flu and other asstd things happening.)
Pippin - I believe we may have a connection. I am a descendant of Emma Claridge and Christopher Harrison and have been struggling to find info on them. I have their marriage date and in separate places in 1841 & 1851 censuses, plus the births and deaths of numerous children.
The stumbling block has been the info that Emma supplied on the immigration record as she lists her father as Thomas (Northants) and mother as Louisa residing in London. I haven't had access to the Norhants  records but someone did a look-up for me and said she was probably 'base born' (the first time I had ever heard that expression!!)
I would be happy for you to contact me privately (I haven't figured out how to do that!)
I have Christopher's lineage back another couple of generations but got nowhere with the Emma line.
I'd love to have photos of both E & C as I have photos of other GG-g'parents.

Cheers

Yes. She was born in Northants. but Mum seemed to be in different places to Dad on Census nights. I have found them all for 1841 and 1851 but then Rose just seems to disappear. I haven't found a death or a marriage for her. She had a few siblings who died and I've tracked those - she's the mystery!

I'm looking for any details on Rose Harrison (Possibly 'Rose Martha') born Abt 1833
She was baptised in 1837 and was in the 1851 census aged 18
Her parents were Christopher and Emma.

I can't find her after the 1851 census. She did not come to Australia with her parents and siblings in 1853. So any help would be appreciated!!

Thanks for your help
