Philip FLITCROFT, born Leigh

[BAC3]

Hello,

Could someone kindly confirm if Thomas FLITCROFT and his wife Dorothy (nee DAVIS) had two sons named Philip in the 1830's.   The first born 1833 and died 1834 and the second sometime afterwards who died in 1885.

Thank you

I assume you know about their other sons - Amos, Arthur & Paul

Thank you all for your help.

Having researched every known index, Ancestry, FindMyPast, FamilySearch, FreeGen, lan-opc, and so on, I am beginning to think the topic is a "lost cause"

For now,

Have you other information to tie you to Thomas and Dorothy ,

Amos married in Leigh register office or registrar attended service in 1851 to Barbara Kerfoot, the witnesses may be siblings, of Amos, I assume you have Amos in census records they are in Bedford Lancashire in 1861 , first son Thomas Flitcroft mother Kerfoot, registered Culcheth Wigan and Leigh 1851,Robert 1854,Ann 1860, and perhaps
John William 1867

Thank you for all the information, Radcliff, I'm very grateful.

My main research involves the two "Philip" sons, the "first born" of whom died in 1834.   The "second born" remains totally elusive as to date of birth, christening etc.   I have a full biography for him but, sadly, in all the source material no formal confirmation of those details has been retrieved.

For the moment,
