I just wish I could get further back on the PHILLIMORE side, - I can't wait for the BTs for Ludgershall to be published!
Now, thanks to FindMyPast's new Wiltshire collections released yesterday, I have seen transcripts of Ludgershall's baptisms, banns, marriages, burials, and the results are surprising (and not what I suspected at all) - I was right to have niggling doubts about William's parentage.
Although on his
marriage certificate his father is named as John, on his
baptism record only his
mother is listed (Jane Phillimore) and she is described as a 'pauper'.
Incidentally, the person I'd thought was William's brother was actually his cousin, but I now have a completely new Phillimore line to get used to!
