The Phillips of Banham/Buckenham?
« on: Tuesday 27 June 17 10:08 BST (UK) »
These are distant-ish ancestors of mine (1720-1800).

Following a recent trip to the NRO to photograph some wills, and having transcribed those wills, I have the following "family tree" info, from 3 wills:

=============================
Pullyn Phillips of Banham, will of 1754:

Jane my wife
William Phillips my son
Edward Phillips my brother
Ann Phillips my sister
=============================
Edward Phillips of Banham, will of 1758

Edward Phillips my son
Robert Phillips my son
Ann Phillips my daughter
Elizabeth by daughter the wife of James Reeve
Mary Phillips my daughter
Margaret Phillips my daughter
Rebekah Phillips my daughter

=============================
Robert Phillips of Banham, will of 1801

Robert Phillips my son
My Sister Ann Phillips
My Daughter Elizabeth Phillips
My Brother Edward Phillips
Mr James Reeves my Brother in Law

=============================
I also, from FreeReg, have the following raft of Baptisms, all born
to "Edward" and "Mary":
Pullyn, 1717, Old Buckenham
Edward, 1719, Old Buckenham
Ann, 1720, Old Buckenham
Robert, 1726, Old Buckenham
Edward, 1731, Banham

I intially assume that Pullyn and Edward, who died only 4 years apart were brothers
(as stated in Pullyns will), but this fell apart with Elizabeth, Edward's daughter
and James Reeves' wife, being born about 1833. Not a likely daughter for someone born in 1831.
This solution also needed Two generations of Edward-Pullyn-Ann sibling sets.

If I make Edward d1758 the previous generation (i.e. husband of Mary in all the baptisms), things seems to work OK. In particular, there's only one "Ann", mentioned in all three wills.

I would VERY much like to confirm my interpretation, and to do this I need
DOB for the people who's wills I have, ideally age at death.

But I can't find them. I have a burial for Pullyn in New Buckenham (which doesn't give an age).

However, there IS a WI transcription of the grave markers... which ... shows his age as illegible.  :'(

Does anyone have any info; the parish registers get a bit partial in this era, and I'm struggling.

They were certainly wealthy (enough to leave traces); Edward in 1758 leaves separate properties in 4 villages (Banham, Winfarthing, Old Buckenham and Garboldisham) to three sons.

This is the only MI I can find in New Buckenham for Pullyn, but his age is given as 57, in 1828

Wood Dalling Hall is a pretty impressive pile!

I believe him to a different "Pullyn Phillips".

He married a Hannah Blomfield m1791, in Tacolneston.  Your age
leads to DOB 1771; this points to a 9 Sep 1771 (FreeReg) baptism back in Banham,
born to William and Anne.

One might speculate that William is the bap 9 Dec 1745 son of the Pullyn Phillips who left a will in 1754; it seems "likely"

Add; "Norfolk Sources" has the 1828 will, under the (wrong) name "Phillip Phillips"

Add2; "My" Pullyn is monument No. 127, same page as "Your" Pullyn, No. 129.

Yes,that looks fine. I have a Ringland 1768 marriage between William Phillips of Banham and Anne Wright (FreeReg)

And (speed reading) the 1828 will mentions a load of Wrights.
