Fife / Philp Family, Fife
« on: Monday 28 October 13 13:06 GMT (UK) »
Hi Im new here and I am looking for some help from people who have already traced Philp family in Fife.
I have Thomas Philp b 1836 Kilconqhuar
His parents were John Philp and Maria Mackie married in 1834
John was born in 1811, his parents were John Philp and Janet Law who were married in 1801 in Dunfermline
I cant get any further back than that, where and when was John Philp senior born? does anyone have any information, also where do the Philps orignate from, is it really from Philllips? My mother and grandfather were Philps, and they always said they were French origins for the name?
many thanks
Gilly
