Hi,
As I don't know if Elizabeth PHILLIPS was born in Lancashire or Cheshire, I thought I'd post here.
I'm trying to confirm who Elizabeth's parents were and hopefully find a baptism for her.
This is what I've got so far:
1841 Census
Class: HO107; Piece: 575; Book: 17; Civil Parish: Manchester; County: Lancashire; Enumeration District: 32; Folio: 29; Page: 8
Bromley Street, Manchester (St. George)
Samuel PHILLIPS 40
Juliana PHILLIPS 40
Mary PHILLIPS 15
Robert PHILLIPS 15
Elizabeth PHILLIPS 15
Samuel PHILLIPS was born in Chester in 1801
Julia Ann nee EDWARDS I'm still working out
Samuel and Julia married in 1821 in Chester.
Mary PHILLIPS b. 1821 Chester. Baptised 1852 in Manchester.
Robert PHILLIPS c. 1824 in Manchester. I haven't found a baptism yet, but Robert's marriage cert. gives Samuel PHILLIPS as his father.
Both Mary and Robert were children of Samuel and Julia Ann PHILLIPS.
Was Elizabeth also a child of Samuel and Julia Ann? I haven't found a baptism or Elizabeth on the 1851 census. I think she probably was a daughter of Samuel and Julia Ann, but I'd love to be sure.
Other children of Samuel and Julia Ann:
Martha PHILLIPS b. 1827 in Manchester. Baptised 1852 in Manchester.
Ann PHILLIPS b. 1832 in Manchester. Baptised 1852 in Manchester.
Ellen PHILLIPS b. 1837 in Manchester. Baptised 1852 in Manchester.
Emma PHILLIPS c. 1842 in Manchester. I haven't found a baptism yet.
I've no idea why the children were baptised so late. I also don't know where Martha, Ann and Ellen PHILLIPS were in 1841?
Julia Ann PHILLIPS died 16/10/1845 at 15 Dalton Street, Manchester (St. George). The death certificate has the name of "Ann PHILLIPS" not Julia Ann, but I believe this is the correct death.
1851 census
Class: HO107; Piece: 2230; Folio: 737; Page: 36
14 Worth Street, Manchester (St. George)
Samuel PHILLIPS 50 Head widowed Chester, Cheshire
Mary PHILLIPS 28 Daughter Chester, Cheshire
Martha PHILLIPS 21 Daughter Manchester, Lancs
Ann PHILLIPS 19 Daughter Manchester, Lancs
Ellen PHILLIPS 14 Daughter Manchester, Lancs
Emma PHILLIPS 9 Daughter Manchester, Lancs
Elizabeth NIGHTINGALE 2 Niece Manchester, Lancs
Elizabeth NIGHTINGALE is actually Elizabeth Nightingale PHILLIPS b. 03/04/1848 at 15 Dalton Street, Manchester (St. George). She is the daughter of Elizabeth PHILLIPS (I assume the very same Elizabeth PHILLIPS that this post is about). I don't know what happens to Elizabeth Nightingale PHILLIPS after the 1851 census and I haven't got a baptism for her yet.
I don't think Elizabeth Nightingale PHILLIPS is actually Samuel PHILLIPS niece (as recorded on the 1851 census). Could she be his granddaughter? Samuel PHILLIPS mother, Martha, died in 1832. Her age was recorded as 70 on the burial register.
Many thanks, Rowan Tree
