Second Generation
9. Mr Richard Hooper
Ross PHILP was born before 11 Jan 1815.6
[[Birth note: Marr 1841 of full age therefore probably over 21. therefore born
before 1820]
[UPDATE. A long road but at last we have found him!! Philp family has a tradition
that they came from Wales. A family business card of a Frederick Philp is given
as Innkeeper in a small place near Haverfordwest. We found one on 1851 Wales
census in Cartlett, Haverfordwest: aged 35 as an Innkeeper born in Plymouth.
(Therefore b c 1816) We found him aged 45 on 1861 Wales, born Devon. On 1871
in England aged 55 as a gilder: note the same wife as 1861, so same person, but
born in Devonport. We found a FBMD marriage possibility and sent off for certificate
to see if his father was Thomas (Printer) and therefore probably a brother of
RHRP. ** see below.
In the meantime Christine went into Genuki and found a reference to a site where
someone had transcribed some Stoke Damerel BapMarrBur's because they are nowhere
else on web. She requested data and incredibly found several children of a Thomas
(Bookbinder, Printer or Stationer) and Mary Philp, including a Frederick Bozon,
but too old (born 1810) and also found RHRP!!
We then found that Frederick was buried soon after. Therefore Innkeeper in Wales
probably a later son.
We found a daughter with a middle name Wilkins and then a possible marriage of
a Mary Wilkins to a Thomas Philp on IGI in 1801. Entry is as Transcribed (we
need to see original)
RHRP Baptised 11 Jan 1815 (Father living in the Dock (later called Devonport)
area working as a Printer). He could have been born years earlier as several
siblings baptised when 4 or more. (We may be able to find him on 1841 with a
bit of luck, but will not give birthplace or proper age)]]
** (Now have Marr Cert: FP m MP: Fr T P. Printer: a witness was EJP. - hooray!)
He was baptized on 11 Jan 1815 in Stoke Damerel.22 [Baptism note: Abode, Dock. Occupation of father, Printer]
