Mike The Phillips in my direct line in my tree Starts From Warwickshire 1818 William John m Mary Ann Townsend 1844 UK migrated on the David McIver arrived Adelaide Nov 28,1859 Also have George 1855 Wolverhampton m Martha Aspinall Merseyside but I don't have a record of them coming to Aus this line links to WA I have another Phillips Thomas c 1870 m Clara Hill Kanmantoo 1871 Woodchester no info on where he came from I do know that in SA there are 3 separate lines of Phillips one in the Western Part of the state (William John), one centre in the Strathalbyn area (Phillip Thomas) and one in the Eastern part of the state. Was speaking with Alan Phillips (Alan Phillips alan@gould.com.au) when the roadshow was here on the Sunshine Coast Earlier in the year. He is connected to one of the SA families, which may be the one your looking for, as he wasn't linked with my William John line. bob ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mike" <mpsangster@bigpond.com> To: "AUS-SAGEN" <AUS-SAGEN@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, October 11, 2010 7:12 PM Subject: [AUS-SAGEN] Phillips Family of england - Australia, etc. > Hi All, > I am trying to find some listeners out there, who are related to > the Phillips Family, > whose ancestors may have been related to the Families of Simpson Family > from Scotland, > whose G-Great-Grandfather's were David and Helen (Young) Simpson, who came > to live > in Victoria, and also John and Mary Pearson (Simpson - elder sister to > David Simpson-), > from Scotland, and settled in Van Diemans Land, (now known as Tasmania), > before some > migrated to Victoria, possibily with the the Henty Bros., to Portland, > Victoria, and opened > p this South - Western part of Victoria - (West of the Grampions, re > Casterton ; Hamilton and > Portland), into over 50 large Properties, etc. > Some of the Children of David and Helen Simpson, an Baker from > Hamilton, married into > the families of both South Australia and Victoria, whose > Great-Grandfathers were then known as > either Robert Phillips, and his brother, James Howard Phillips.
