Cornwall Completed Lookup Requests / Thomas Bowden TIPPET - missing years COMPLETED
« on: Friday 29 June 07 02:37 BST (UK)  »
Hi.

I am trying to fill in some missing years of my Great-great grandfather Thomas Bowden Tippet.
He was christened in Gunwalloe on 24 July 1836 and shows up in the 1841 census, aged 5 in the household of his father William Tippet, a carpenter.
In 1851, aged 15 and an apprentice carpenter, he is listed at 34 Chyanvounder -- where the family is shown under the spelling Tippit.
But by 1861, he is gone and doesn't show up until 1886, when at the age of 50, he marries Margaret Maher in Ballarat, Australia.
I believe he may have arrived in the colony in November 1882 aboard the Potosi, but what he did or where he went in the intervening years is a mystery.

At least one of his older brothers, either James Tippet, ch: 2/9/1821 or William Tippet, ch: 12/10/1823, left Cornwall for Manchester, as a granddaughter, Alice, aged 7, appears in the 1861 census living in the Gunwalloe household. So it is conceivable that Thomas Bowden Tippet also took that route, but I haven't been able to find him there.

I'd be grateful if anyone has any leads to a Thomas Bowden Tippet post 1851 -- or, for that matter, the older brothers James or William -- all born Gunwalloe.
(I should add that in 1851 a James Tippet, 13, is shown as a farm servant in Cury; and a William H Tippet, 17, as a general servant in Gunwalloe. These are Thomas's cousins, not brothers.)

Best wishes and good luck

Cornwall Completed Lookup Requests / Philips of Landewednack
« on: Wednesday 27 June 07 00:11 BST (UK)  »
Hi.

Looking for any information on the Philips family of Landewednack, circa mid-1700s.
Have a Mary Philips, christened 29 October, 1758, daughter of John and Mary. Possible that John was buried in Landewednack on 19 July 1772.
They may have had three other children, Ann; Martha and possibly Samson (shown in OPC baptisms database as F?mson?)

Cornwall / TIPPET of Gunwalloe and Mullion
« on: Saturday 23 June 07 05:54 BST (UK)  »
Hi,

I am looking for any information on the Tippet family of Gunwalloe and Mullion, on the Lizard peninsula of Cornwall.

My g-g-grandfather was William Tippet, a carpenter of Gunwalloe, married to Peggy, nee Boulden, originally from St Keverne. His father was James Tippet, born 6 Dec. 1764, in Mullion, who married Mary Philips on 3 April 1792. They had six children, Mary, James, William, Martha, Jane and Henry.

James was buried on 21 November, 1832, and Mary on 19 November, 1835.

James' father was also James Tippet, born in Mullion in about 1739. I believe he married Ursula Harris, who was born approximately 1743, on 11 September 1764.
 
They had eight children between 1764 and 1781: James, Ursula, Mary, Anthony, William, Margaret, Henry and Lovedy.

I am keen to trace James' parents and grandparents if possible, as well as the descendants of any of their children.

Hope someone out there can help :)
