Occupation Interests / Re: 18th Century silk weaver - Spitalfields

Hello "richarde1979"
I am new to Rootschat and unsure how it all works!! so I thought I would reply to this thread and see if we can connect.
I have just read your very interesting comments on the above topic, re the Phipps's of Bethnal Green. I wonder if you could help me.
We have a Thomas Phipps (1812-1854) who married Ann Mary Emerson (1816-1889) who both come from Bethnal Green and were weavers. We have been able to trace back the Ann Emerson line but have been unsuccessful with trying to find the parents of Thomas.
In the above thread you made the following comment...
"Peter and Elizabeth had several children baptised in East London between 1765-81. His son Robert Phipps, born 11 December 1776, baptised Christmas day 1776 at St Matthew's, Bethnal Green, was apprenticed aged 15 on 3 January 1792 as a silk weaver, to Matthew Read citizen and weaver. His elder brother Thomas had also been apprenticed to the same gentleman 7 years earlier. Their father Peter was described as a weaver on their records, of St John Street, Bethnal Green in 1785, and Mile End New Town in 1792. Peter died in 1827, leaving a will, and his adress at that time was Wilmot Street, Bethnal Green."
I am wondering if the Thomas that you mention above (probably born around 1770) is connected to our Thomas (b1812) (a couple of generations later!!)
We would be very grateful if you could provide us with any information that would confirm or otherwise the above connection.
Kind regards
Garry
