Who was Philip Crick (1777-1816)?

[josey]

That would take almost all of rootschat servers  it's 4 pages long.

I'll post when it's done, anyone interested can pm me with their email address & I'll send a copy.

Mary may have been ill when she wrote the will but I suppose we will never know.

But also as Philip had died she would have written a Will to protect her childrens interests.

In 1818 her youngest Son Edmund Timothy was only about 5.
As I said earlier Susanna Crick may have been looking after the children after 1818.

From FreeREG Phiip/Mary Bapt;
Mary 1799 buried 04 Oct 1810 age 11***
Amelia Ann 1801 buried 1803 age 2***
Susanna 1803
Philip 1805
Sarah Ann 1807
Elizabeth Frances 1808
Ann Charlotte 1810
Edmund Timothy 1813

Now interestingly there are 2 Marriage Covent Garden for a GEORGE Crick;
24 Jun 1805 a Bachelor to Ann DOLLONSON, a Philip Crick* a witness
23 Jan 1824 a Bachelor to Ann Hughes JOHNSON

The 1796 George would be too young to marrry 1805 so the second marriage is more likely for him.

That generation of Cricks seemed to die young;

All occurred Covent Garden;
Burials;
GEORGE Crick 29 Jun 1838 age 42
ANN HUGHES Crick 17 Nov 1847 age 47

Mary signed the will on 8 May 1818 - 16 days before the burial. I've very nearly finished the transcription just puzzling over a few words but as Trish says, mostly it's to provide for her children. The only other points to come out are that Philip died intestate & Mary left some money to her mother-in-law Susan Crick.

If Philip had been born in Bury St Edmunds today he would have been a sugar beet salesman  .

I admire you for transcribing the will josey.
I have given up for now looking at handwriting. (I had eye surgery 6mths ago and its still healing)

[josey]

Hope it continues to heal, Trish. I may have to have surgery for an epiretinal membrane in due course.

I have completed all I can - a few words elude me but nothing important. I can send images and the transcription to anyone who sends their email address by pm.

Hi all,
Thanks so much for the transcription 
Best wishes,
Francis

[josey]

Will send the 'stuff'. But you'll need to remove your email address Francis - not allowed on rootschat public forum. That's why I said to send it by pm. A moderator may do it for you if you don't - it's to prevent spam.

Apologies for the address; I didn't know it was not allowed. I'm still quite new to rootschat, and don't really know how to pm things to people here
