James and William Smyth Phillips arrived in Melbourne on 'Mermaid' on 11 Feb 1856. They were from Derry. They headed for the diggings at Beechworth. William Smyth Phillips (1838-1891) m Anne Elizabeth O'Connor (1838-1925) in 1862. Charles Patterson Phillips (1873-?) m Constance Harriet Fisher (1861-1938) in 1903. Charles Roy (Roy) Phillips (1899-1967) m Catherine Phoebe Bryce (1902-1987) in 1924. John Patrick Phillips (1931- ) m Margaret Helen Ryan (1931- ) in 1954. Simon John Patrick Phillips (1955- ) We have a tree at http://phillipsryan.tribalpages.com If you would like to have a look, the access code is 'balwyn' I would like to find out more about my dad's side of the tree. I don't have that much info here. I like your photo of Harriet Borrodell with child. We have a matching photo of her with another of her children on our site. Apparently Wangaratta is crawling with Phillips descendants, but I haven't made any connections yet. Up till now I have been spending most of my time researching Mum's side. Pickpockets have been proving much more interesting than pastrycooks. Kind regards, Simon Phillips Balwyn VIC Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
