I have one more PHILPOT for you.

Just a point to note. Bribie Island is a very popular location for retirees from all over the place. So you can't assume a long-standing connection with Bribie Island just because someone dies there. Also, if you have not already checked, there are 25 entries in the White Pages for Philpot in Queensland. So you may have some living relatives there. http://www.whitepages.com.au/wp/resSearch.do I find that WW2 service or the 1949 is the best "bridge" to make connections with the living.

I got far more info than expected, including an offer for help with their grave information. I shall be in touch with you all directly once I've read through everything carefully. In the meantime - just in case a PHILPOT, VENN or WOOF relative reads this in the archives and wishes to find more on their Devon ancestors. I have all the details.: I am related to Eveline VENN whose family came from Ermington Devon and sailed over to Brisbane in 1883. Her parents were William VENN and Mary ROLLINGS and someone a while ago sent me their headstone photo from Toowong Cemetery. My search pretty much ends there except for snippets. They didn't have sons, so the VENN name ends there. It's the Philpots I've been hoping to track down. Philip Arthur PHILPOT was born in London, the son of THOMAS JAMES PHILPOT and MARY BURCH. In 1902, aged about 19, he sailed on his own to Canada. He was in Brisbane by 1912 when he married Eveline. They had two sons. Philip William and Thomas Arthur. All I have on Thomas is that he served in WW2 naming his next of kin as E. Woof! (I see that surname on Evelyn's obituary - wow - thanks!) So there it is. Once again - thanks so much -- what a great list you are!

Thanks Kerry... Afraid she's not related. Thanks for the white pages. You have been most generous with your knowledge. I always live in the hope that this one family of Philpots are interested in their Devon & London roots and list their names on Ancestry or GenesRe. One day. Keep up the good work you're doing. Cheers, Pamela. -----Original Message----- From: aus-qld-brisbane-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:aus-qld-brisbane-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Kerry Raymond Sent: Monday, May 04, 2009 7:02 PM To: aus-qld-brisbane@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [AUS-QLD-BRISBANE] 1949 ELECTORAL LIST-PHILPOT & VENN I have one more PHILPOT for you.
