1851 England Census ???? about John Phillips Name: John Phillips Age: 54 Estimated birth year: abt 1797 Relation: Head Spouse's name: Hannah Gender: Male Where born: Newent, Gloucestershire, England Civil parish: East Dean Ecclesiastical parish: St John County/Island: Gloucestershire Registration district: Westbury On Severn Sub-registration district: Newnham ED, institution, or vessel: 4e Neighbors: View others on page Household schedule number: 24 Household Members: Name Age Caroline Phillips 15 Charles Phillips 6 Hannah Phillips 41 Harriot Phillips 12 John Phillips 54 John Phillips 10 Peter Phillips 1 Sarah Ann Phillips 19 (is she Bergam on 1861?)

The mother would have been about 46 when the youngest was born...........quite possible, in view of the fact there were older children.......... The address in 1861 is 'Private'.........just means private house, I would think. Reg
