William Phipp of Potterne

[green-finger]

I am trying to trace the birthplace of my 4 x great-grandfather, William Phipp, who was born in 1756. He married Elizabeth Wilkins of Potterne in 1777 and sired 3 children. He later had a child with one of her sisters and then 13 more with the other. He died in Market Lavington in 1721.

Any help would be appreciated.

This is the nearest I can get to it.

On 14 Jul 1754  born  William PHIPP son of Samuel and Susanna  was baptised at Devizes; St Mary, WIL

As you mentioned Market Lavington, I thought I would include this entry:

1783 Oct 18. Groom William PHIPP  occupation yeo residing at Market Lavington (Easterton), WIL.  Bride Elizabeth SAUNDERS  residing at Market Lavington, WIL.  Bondsmen JORDAN John,victualler, Devizes.

Mmm, food for thought. Thank you both! The Saunders connection is also interesting as among my ancestors is David Saunders, the Shepherd of Salisbury Plain, made famous by Hannah More's tract.

Best wishes, 

Maurice.
