Phillips Family of Worle
published by - 7 years 2 days ago.

I don't know if it helps but a lot of my Weston super Mare Hodges family married in Bristol between 1840s and 1860s.  There appears to be no reason for this, they subsequently lived in Weston.  I wonder if it was considered smart and fashionable to marry in a larger church.

There is a John PHILLIPS, widower, born in Loxton c1797 living in Worle in 1871. According to the Census record he was in receipt of Relief. Have you looked at the Parish Relief records to see if there is anything there which might help? This is very much Pat's area of expertise (one of them), so she might be able to help.

I can find a baptism for a John to John PHILLIPS and Ann in Kewstoke on 16 January 1825 and that would fit nicely with the marriage Pat found in Bristol. Are you saying there was a marriage of John PHILLIPS and Ann in Kewstoke on the same date? I haven't been able to find that.

For my money, although I can't prove it John's father or close relative might be Arnold Phillips who was a farmer in Worle in the late 1700s and early 1800s.

Any ideas why Ann from Kewstoke and John from Lympsham might marry in Bristol and not their Parish? Also there is an entry on the Kewtoke parish register for Jan 16 1825 John Phillips and Ann. Surely logic says that this is more likely to be 'Our' John and Ann?

Also at Kewstoke on Jan 16 1825 John Phillips married Ann. Logic says to me that this is them.
