James Phillips, Whitchurch, Shropshire
« on: Wednesday 25 March 15 20:43 GMT (UK) »
As a "Newbie" I'm trying to find some information about my Gt. Gt., Gt. Grandfather James Phillips.  I know he was born about 1780 in Whitchurch, Shropshire and in March 1802 Married (I believe) a Mary Tagg.  I know of one Son my Gt. Gt. Grandfather William Phillips, Baptised on 11 Apr 1803, Whitchurch, Shropshire.  I've most of William's Children etc., and descendants but not much info about Siblings and Parents.  Is there anyone out there researching the Phillips Family of Whitchurch, Shropshire who knows of any other members of this family?

No record for James at Whitchurch, nearest I could find which may be worth looking at:

James Phillips born 15 Apr 1778 bap. 24 May 1778 Shifnal Shropshire.
Willm of Redhill, Bricklayer, mother Margt

James married Mary Tagg as you note.

Children baptised Whitchurch
William 11 Apr 1803

Then there is a gap to 1816 4 children baptised in Whitchurch to James a Shoemaker & Mary?

Colin
Clarke, Trickett, Orton, Lawless, Norton, Detheridge, Kirby, Goodfellow, Wagstaff, Lowe, etc.
