Drawbridge christening in Little Chart

[MattD30]

Hi

Is anyone able to double check the spelling of a name in a christening in Little Chart for me?

I'm looking to check the spelling of the first name of "Phyllyp" or "Phillis" Drawbrige daughter of Thomas Drawbridge which took place in February 1551.

I've see her name transcribed on various transcriptions as "Phyllyp", "Fillis", and "Phyllys".

She married Christopher Fode in Bishopsbourne in September 1578 and in this case her name is spelt "Phyllis".

Christopher died in 1593 and his widow married James Holloway in 1593/94 in Canterbury. In this case her name is spelt "Phyllp".

She appears to have died in 1600 and was buried in Bilsington as "Phillis Holloway wife of James"

I am trying to work out if she was christened as "Phylllys" or "Fillis" or if "Phyllyp" was a variant of "Philippa"

Many Thanks
Matt

Findmy past has the name spelt   " FYLLYP "  on their transcription.

FYLLYP was how I've initially read the name although on another transcription I've also occasionally seen it down as "Filip" and once as "Filep" (although that may have been an error in the transcription).

I've also read something recently which suggests Fyllyp/Phillip was sometimes used as a female name in that period, but I'm not sure where I saw this. I guess it could have been an abbreviation of Fyllyppa too.

I wonder who her mother might have been.

Thanks for the hekp
