Member Since: February 2007 Posts: 21 Send Message	Can you help me please. I'm looking for Thomas Phillips, baptised in 1871 at Great Barton Suffolk. His parents were: Thomas and Ellen Phillips. I assume Thomas got married in 1912 but I have no idea what was the lady's name! Did they have children? Thomas died in 1936 in Bury St. Edmunds. Thanks and I will wait for your reply, regards Andrew.

	Why do you assume that Thomas got married in 1912? I can't see a marriage for a Thomas Phillips in Suffolk in 1912 - or did he marry somewhere else? Kath. x

	good lord, how many threads??? (there is a trail leading back from the ones Chris posted) Andrew, you simply ignore anything anyone says I see that I myself put a lot of work into your thread in 2013 about Edward http://www.genesreunited.co.uk/boards/board/ancestors/thread/1334948 in that thread you replied: 'Edward split up with Emma where did he live 1911 England Census? Where was Edward based in Navy and when was he demobed? When did he die? Thanks Andrew.' except that what I had shown was not that they split up, it was that he was in the Navy in 1911 but what I mainly want to say is: people here do not have magic wands We worked hard to find you the information about Edward and his family in 1911, we don't just reach into our pockets and pull out info nobody knows where someone was in the Navy or when he was demobbed or when he died ... that all takes work to find out and some of it is not findable at all ... Chris actually gave you a link in that thread where for very little cost you could get Edward's naval record ... nobody else here is going to pay for it for you ... but as for deaths, and marriages, and births have you tried using Freebmd yourself?? http://www.freebmd.org.uk/cgi/search.pl note to Gins - if something was deleted I may know what you refer to :-) but a tip Thomas Phillips in the 1881 Name:Thomas Phillips Age:9 Estimated birth year:abt 1872 Relationship to Head:Son Father: Thomas Phillips Mother: Ellen L. Phillips Gender:Male Where born:Rougham, Suffolk, England Civil Parish:Great Barton County/Island: Suffolk Registration district:Thingoe Sub registration district:Ixworth ED, institution, or vessel:9 Piece:1841 Folio:9 Page Number:12 Household Members: Name Age Thomas Phillips 35 Ellen L. Phillips 31 Thomas Phillips 9 Edward Phillips 8 Harry Phillips 5 John Norman 66 just clicking 'delete' a dozen times makes things a whole lot easier to see on the monitor
