James Philpott born 1844 Sandgate
« on: Wednesday 12 December 18 17:06 GMT (UK) »
Hi

I am trying to find the birth/baptism of this man who according to the 1851 Censu was born c1843/4 he also appears in FreeBMD. His mother is shown as Elizabeth on that Census, but no sign of father I would like to find his name and their marriage. Any help would be much appreciated

Regards  David

Duplicate post.

What do you mean that "he appears in freebmd". I see no such birth.

Hi Pauline T

Hi Pauline

There is a baptism of a James Philpott, son of Elizabeth Philpott on 4th June 1843 in Folkestone taken from the Parish registers on Ancestry. That same James appears in the Cehriton/Elham area,

If the baptism shows no fathers name that would indicate he was illegit.  What is his mother’s marital status in 1851?

You appear to be saying there is a birth reg for him on freebmd in your opening post.  Have you checked GRO online for a mmn?

Hi Carole

I have now rechecked and the entry is for another James Philpott, but the baptism is there and I know to my own cost that some of my own relatives do not appear in the registers. My maternal grandfather was born in 1871 but even after 20 years I have never found an entry or a baptism but most hid older and younger siblings are registered.

Regards

There are some trees that have him as son of Elizabeth, nee Relfe, and Francis Philpot (d 1837)

In particular there's a Hannah Philpott b c1833 with an Elizabeth the right age in Folkestone in 1841. She ramains in the area (never marries) and lists birthplace as London or SOuthwark. This has been linked by some with the baptism of Hannah Abigail, d of Francis & Elizabeth, in Blackfriars

One tree notes Elizabeth's neighbours in 1851 is a nephew of Francis, Workhouse records connect Francis to Folkestone
