Fife / Re: Tracing PHILP/PHILLIPS from Fife
« on: Tuesday 07 December 21 23:15 GMT (UK) »
Interesting reading the various chats. I’m hoping Osprey 28 is still using the site? I’m directly related to Charles Philp and consequently Walter - his elder brother by 9 or 10 years and therefore also a distant cousin of Osprey. In London Charles married Ellen Baker at St Botolphs. Ellen was born in the Hampshire village of Broughton where I now live. They had 5 children before she died at the age of 44 in 1895. Their second child John Henry was my Great Grandfather. Charles Philp (Marriage registration refer to as Philip) married his then housekeeper Janet Bryant and they had 4 children. The youngest being born in 1901 just three years before my Grandfather in 1904. Charles died in 1910.
John Henry - who reverted to Philp - had 5 children the eldest being my Grandfather, before being killed at The Somme in 1916.
Any history from Fife would be good to confirm as my tracing takes me back to Thomas Philp (b c.1688) & Catherine Dall (b c.1690) from Kennoway
