I am interested in this family also. Can I ask how you came by Jane as the wife of Philip? The grave of Simon Mothersole d1806 in St Peter's Parish Church, Great Livermere lists his parents as Philip and Susan Mothersole. Given the date and its proximity to the graves of Philip (died 1871) and Elizabeth (died 1862) I think it's a very good chance Simon was Philip's brother. The 1841 census entry for the family of Philip and Elizabeth Mothersole (nee Borley) lists a Susan Mothersole aged 80 - this may be Philip's mother. I am descended from Alfred Mothersole, the son of Philip and Elizabeth who changed is name to Motherstone.
