I am looking for details of land ownership/ occupations of George Phillipps (wife Frances) of Laverton and then Picton House Broadway, and his son Thomas (b 1862) Also, how / if they are linked to Sir Thomas Phillipps
The Will of George Phillipps of Picton House, Broadway, who died on the 9th December 1906 was proved on the 11th February 1907, by Francis Sutton Phillipps of Picton House, the widow and Philip Perkins Phillipps of Greatham Manor, Pulbrough, Sussex, farmer, his son.
His sons who are mentioned are George Richard Phillipps, Frank Henry Phillipps and Philip Perkins Phillipps and a grandson Leslie Charles Phillipps, not yet of age.
He makes provision for Het oland? Phillipps and Georgianna Phillipps, of Picton House, spinsters, his daughters and his sisters Anne and Jane Morris £10 each for mourning or for a mourning ring.
Gross Value £5,815.2s.3d.
Net Value £1,1527.2s.0d.
He must have had a brother Charles Phillipps who died on the 22nd March 1895 and was married to Elizabeth, because in his Will he mentions his brothers William Phillipps, George and John Phillipps and sisters Sarah Phillipps, Elizabeth wife of George Hoddinott of Norton St. Philip, Bath and Ann, wife of Owen John Morris of Broadway, miller and Jane wife of Joseph William Morris. (They traded as O.J. and J.W. Morris, farmers, millers, grocers and drapers of Broadway, Worcestershire, see London Gazette 12th January 1897)
His brother William Robert Phillipps of Childswickham, who died 6th December 1900, had an only son William Edward Phillipps and his widow was named as Amy Louisa Phillipps and fellow executor his cousin George Hoddinott of Whitechapel, Gloucestershire, farmer. (This is the same George Hoddinott of Norton St.Philip baptised 12th November 1820 in Witham Friary, Somerset and died 23rd April 1898 at Buckland, who had married Elizabeth Phillipps and had nine children).
