Looks like he is going to be difficult to pin down.  This is his birth record

BRIDGES, PHILIP  LAWTON     SNOOK 
GRO Reference: 1856  M Quarter in SAINT GEORGE IN THE EAST  Volume 01C  Page 441

Cannot find any birth for Mary or marriage for Philip and Mary.

Was Philip's victim a family member?

Was Philip's victim a family member?

He stole from his father 

[Girl Guide]

I did wonder if that was the case Rosie.

By the way, not keen on the new system FindMyPast have for viewing images.  Nothing wrong with the previous system.

He went to Australia in 1883. Married May or Mary Bushby or Bushly in Victoria in 1896.

Police looking for him in 1905, with description: https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/148496153

He'd already been in jail at least twice in Australia.

A Philip Lawton Bridges was made bankrupt in New Zealand in 1885.
