This is the search page for my family
Philpot .
(philpot.org.uk)
 

This site will be used for research into the history of the Philpot family of Sussex in the U.K.
It has been set up in the hope that the Internet search engines will find it when any of my relatives look for their ancestors.
 
   
My Father was Laurence Thomas Weston Philpot (almost universally known as "Laurie") who used to work on Fleet Street for most of the broadsheet newspapers based there at the time including The Daily and Sunday Telegraph, The Times, The Financial Times, The Daily Mail, etc..
He also worked in advertising and other "money making" schemes.
Most didn't by the way (make money, that is!).
 
   
My Father's Father's Father was Thomas Weston Philpot born in 1884 who worked for The Manchester Guardian.    
My Father's Mother's name is presently unknown but MAY have been Sophia.
 
   
His Father's Father's Father's Father was Frederick J Philpot born app. 1861 in Holborn, London.
The family seem to have worked as Estate Agent's for some time in Ilford in Essex.
   

 

My Mother was Ailsa Philpot ne้ Milne    
My Mother's Mother was Audrey Milne    
     

Ailsa and Laurie Philpot were married in London in c. 1957.

We can trace my Mothers' (Milne) family back until approx 1100 in Scotland!
Unfortunately we know far less about my father's family.

I am Weston Philpot and have a Son Chris Robert Philpot and Daughter Nicola Jane Philpot.
I am married to Barbara Ann Philpot ne้ Skelton from the Bexhill area of Sussex.

If you can help in our quest, or are perhaps related, please email me by typing robert then the @ symbol then philpot then org.uk .
(In other words robert then @ then the address at the top of this page)
I have written the link like this so that some of the machines who collect email addresses to bombard us all with advertising may not find it so easy.
 

I would be extremely interested to learn why there are so many families called "Philpot" in Sussex (there is even a Philpot's School and a Philpot's Quarry) and also why so many of them seem to have the initial R?

If YOUR family name is Philpot then you can have an email address of your Christian name @philpot.org.uk.
Please email us for details. The price is very reasonable.
The address (written to confuse the search engines, but you can work it out;-)

start with webmaster
then add an @
then philpot
finish with .org.uk
