It is on the Brighton Main Line, between Honor Oak Park and Sydenham stations. In the following entries of early 1855, the relevant Wm. Phillips is found to be involved in Shipping, and in a Shipbrokers Benevolent Association. We cannot tell at this juncture, if this is the Wm. Phillips, from Chiswell St., St. Lukes. 1855 -- Court Circular -- A deputation from the Legal Quays and Sufferance Wharfingers had an interview with the Rt. Hon. E.

William Phillips would later comment on his long interest in fostering Age Pensions. Earlier, we find that William Phillips had become active in Shipping, by 1849: 1849 -- PROTECTION -- GREAT PUBLIC MEETING OF THE AGRICULTURAL, COMMERCIAL, MANUFACTURING, SHIPPING, AND COLONIAL INTERESTS IN THE CITY OF LONDON. ...

The following charitable committee once again relates to the Welfare of aged Seamen. While we cannot be certain which Wm. Phillips is so engaged, William has noted in his 1910 Life-summary that he was on the Board of Management of 5 hospitals. Thus the combination of care for aged persons, and a hospital board draws our attention. 1857 -- HOSPITAL FOR MERCHANT SEAMEN -- A public meeting was held in the Egyptian-hall, Mansion-house, yesterday, to take into consideation a proposition for the establishment of an hospital for worn-out merchant seamen, there being, it is stated, upwards of 30,000 sailing out of London alone, for whom there is no provision in their declining years, but the workhouse. According to the prospectus it is proposed tha an hospital be erected for master mariners, mates, and seamen of the mercantile maine, to be placed under the government of the Shipwrecked Mariners' Society, incorporated by Act of Parliament, 13 Vict., with power to build asylums for seamen, and hold land for the purpose; that society having, at a general meeting held on the 29th ultimo, voted L=5,000 in furtherance of the proposition. The hospital is to be built on or near the banks of the Thames, within the port of London, to be called The Royal Hospital for Worn-out and Disabled Merchant Seamen, the term "royal" depending on her Majesty's permission ...

Not only does it point to areas of Nature still thriving in the vicinity of London, but through its unique pointer to a Middlesex Phillips lineage, I may be guided to information on the various gentlemen surnamed PHILLIPS listed here. Despite the spelling variations, are these men William's own family members, His father was Richard. His brother [cousin?] was Henry. His grandfather may have been William. -- An extraordinary situation, The other three named gentlemen might all be from William's immediate or near family, his grandfather, father, and brother! Or perhaps they were the heads of local clusters of a long-enduring London Phillips lineage, whose repetitive traditional forenames descend via successive generations. It may be possible to verify the identities of these men via the addresses given here, if compared with the 1861 London Census. [Helpers, please.] If so, a wide extended family relationship may be found to exist between many City area Phillips families -- all descendants of some remote London 'ancestral spirit' great-great-great-grandfather! At the very least, the following Game List reveals that despite having taken up residence in the South East of London, William remained very much socially linked to his interest in game hunting, whether in the region of his birth area, or at Forest-hill. Clearly, there must have been some suitable great park, where hunting was permitted - under the auspices of a valid Game license Certificate, of course. -- We have yet to learn which suitably large park might be indicated. 1859 -- Advertisements & Notices – Game List. – London, Middlesex, and Westminster.

	melcir.meri says: 1856 - Wm. phillips' Opera star friend, Therese Titiens -- melcir.meri \|\| William loved to attend the Opera, and through his long friendships with the Conductor of the Royal Italian Opera, Enrico Francesco Modesto Bevignani [1841 - 1903], of Covent Garden, London, and also with the celebrated Hungarian-born Opera star, Therese Titiens [d.1877], he and his wife, Fanny before her illness prevented such distant socializing, must have enjoyed some fabulous operatic performances, and in great comfort. The couple were dearly indulged by Mme. Titiens, and given the exclusive pleasure of her prestigious and private Opera Box. Mlle. Titiens had graciously insisted upon vacating her exclusively appointed Box, one night a week to William, amid her intriguing aside, that this was her gift, for ''what he did for Italy''! Privately, perhaps this was Mlle. Therese Tietjens' cryptic mode of thanking William for his kindly matchmaking role in bringing together in social contact, her neice, Maria J. N. Kruls, a vivacious young soprano, with Covent Garden's renowned Italian Opera Conductor, Enrico Bevignani, who by then was also William's good friend. When this couple eventually married in the late 1860s, naturally William was invited to attend the wedding, as Enrico's best man. Some interesting cross-links have also been discerned between William Phillips and the family of W. R. Dickinson, who himself has elsewhere here been quoted, for his deep appreciation of WP's long but successful 1890s campaign to establish regular weekend summertime Municipal Band concerts in London's Parks. A second interesting crosslink relates to Lord Ward, and his intriguiing connections to the Opera in London, in the period 1858-60. Ward it should be recalled, was the leading British collier, through whom in the early 1850s, William Phillips became well- established, as Manager to Lord Ward's Oxford Worcester & Wolverhampton Railway's Coal distribution system. Thus we are alerted to the likelihood that the young William had been invited to join Lord Ward's own Opera entourage, and thus had ample occassion to socialise with the renowned Italian conductor, Enrico Bevignani, and also with London's darling of Covent Garden, the Hungarian-born Opera star, Mlle. Therese Tetjiens, in this eventuality, both of whom becoming William's close personal friends. Similarly, it was likely by similar invitation that he met W. R. Dickinson, whose son would later marry another of the operatic Kruls sisters. We note with interest the following published work, which discusses Lord Ward's financial support for the Opera, between 1858-60, the very same period in which WP was actively establishing himself in his newly-wedded homelife at Forest Hill, and in his ever-growing coal-brokerage business.: 1858-1860/ 2007 -- Fashionable acts: opera and elite culture in London, 1780-1880 - Page 163 Jennifer Hall-Witt, 390 pages Lumley's financial difficulties led one of the box proprietors, Lord Ward, to become the new proprietor. ... and then from 1858 through 1860 he managed Smith's Italian opera season at Drury Lane. Like his predecessors, ... [Preview] By 1861, Mlle. Titiens had already sat for several portrait paintings, plus a sculpture. An unexpected revelation, among her Opera reviews, was a court report: MLLE. TITIENS AND HER BUST -- ROMOLI V. TITIENS -- We learn that Signor Romoli, a sculptor, of Camden-Town, had created a bust which Mlle. Titiens did not care for. She also had a painted portrait of herself [artist not named]. and had also been portrayed in various studio photographs, from which numerous prints were made. -- YESTERDAY'S LAW, POLICE, ETC -- COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. -- Reynolds's Newspaper, London, Sunday, June 16, 1861 -- News Much of the mystique of the friendship between the operatic TT and inspired coal broker WP, may relate to their shared fascination for the progress of the Italian Democracy movement, and its charismatic leaders. Thus the following brief information [see below], were it brought to the attention of WP, would be sure to arouse his interest. He would assuredly seek to follow this up, to seek an occasion to discuss, in person with Mlle. Tietjens, the brief details which appeared in the Manchester Times. Perhaps that conversational news tidbit was indeed forwarded to William, by a colleague or friend in the Manchester catchment, who knew of William's recent Italian adventures, and of his personal meeting, c.1849-50, with Cavour's agent, in Italy. [Such a thoughtful friend might have been John Bright, the well-disposed Lancashire social reformer, a mentor to William. -- However, any such sharing of information via a social contact of William's is purely speculative, and yet to be confirmed.] 1861 -- Art and Literary Gossip -- "Mlle.

We cannot yet tell whether the Phillips group were the instruments of inauguration of the enterprise, or if they served, together with other financial guarantors, to help initiate Britain's entry into this burgeoning arena of International Exhibitions, in 1862. In either role, they clearly assisted to provide an expansive contribution to national social advancement, which is most worthy of wider investigation, for such a considerable societal transformative investment in the wider social life of Great Britain, through the cultural and economic participation with other leading nations' in the emerging democratic reform movements of the era. 1861 -- INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION OF 1862-- The Society of Arts give notice that the Guarantee Deed lies for signature at the Society's House, Adelphi. ...

We note the presence of both the Nurse, Maria Dodson of Greenwich, plus Fanny Clara's older married sister, Emily, from St. Pancras, at this time in residece, in the Phillips' home. This suggests that Fanny had become by then, most unwell, and was possibly unable to fully care for her small daughter, and six months old infant son, without significant assistance. -- 1861 -- We are unable yet to identify the rightful parents of the following male birth. Given that William appears to have been spending considerable effort in building a political campaign in the Marylebone area, at this time, he and his family may have returned to this familiar area of his youth, and have taken up quarters, perhaps as temporary residence, or pied-a-terre, to fulfill the requirements of his campaign for election there. We cannot yet identify with any certainty the parents of the following birth. However, if William's wife, Fanny did give birth to another infant in October, she would have been carrying this child during the time of the Census, so may have by then have already been in need of extra assistance with the other young children in her household.: 1861 -- BIRTHS – PHILLIPS – Oct 4, at Marylebone-street, Regent-Street, the wife of Mr. W. Phillips, of a son. -- Daily News (London), Tuesday, October 8, 1861. Was there a Maternity hospital in the Marylebone Street area in 1861? Alternatively, this birth may not be to William of St. Luke's family. The Marylebone reference is consistent with several other entries, all of which tend to verify that a Phillips family had residential connections there. We are aware of the extremely confusing presence in the vicinity of Marylebone, of another Wm. Phillips, who for many years, led a virtually parallel life to that of the William Phillips born in Finsbury. It is often difficult to tell them apart, and to be sure that our entries fully relate to the individual of our study, and not to the other William Phillips. The rather amazingly similar second William Phillips of London, may have been a barrister or solicitor, and his extraordinary presence in this area offers a plausible explanation for the variant spelling of personal names, eg. William Page Phillips versus William Peel Phillips. We recognise that both William Phillips, Sr. had sons of very similar age, with many interests in common. We naturally deduce William Page Thomas Phillips to be father of William Page Phillips. However, William Phillips of St. Lukes, father of William Peel Phillips, either had no middle name, or chose not to use it. The following announcement reveals the address of a Wm. P. Phillips, in 1858, and the birth of a daughter.: 1858 -- Births -- PHILLIPS -- On the 13th inst., at 9 Albion-road, Hampstead, the wife of Wm. P. Phillips, Esq., of a daughter. -- The Morning Post, London, Wednesday, October 20, 1858, pg. 8. Thus, with two fathers and two sons of similar names and ages, is it credible that both William Phillips Sr., should alike show concern for Lancashire distress, plus be both politically active within a single geographic area, during the same historic era? -- While statistically unlikely, I suggest that such was precisely the case. To compound the problem, the second Wm. Phillips later moved out from the central London area, and took up residence in the Ipswich area, which caused me to believe for some time, that Wm. of my biographical study had moved to be nearer his daughter, Alice, at Ipswich!! Given that the link to Marylebone Street appears in two different references, ie. the birth of a son to a Mrs. Wm. Phillips, in October 1861, plus in the Lancashire Distress subscriptions of late 1862 and early 1863, each seems to mutually authenticate the other, suggesting that both may belong to our William. But of this we have no cetainty. Was the Marylebone residence William's earliest marital domicile of 1855, to which the couple periodically returned. Or was it a new address acquired to fulfill the electoral requirements to enable him to run for Municipal or political office there? -- The precise location, duration and purpose of the address remains unknown. It would become especially significant, if this building survives today, as it may be a suitable site for which an English Heritage or Local History residential plaque may be sought to be installed, for William Phillips. The Sydenham Street Directory of 1869 lists William Phillips, Esq., at No. 1, Sydenham Rise. None of the known houses in Forest Hill in which WP resided have survived. But we have yet to gather the full history of this period in his life. Havelock House was one of a pair of Georgian villas, on what is currently open space in front of a modern block of flats. Fortunately, it can be glimpsed in some old photos of these homes which have survived. In the above image are two villas on the left. WP's house is the further of the two, somewhat obscured by a tree, although the ground-floor bow window is visible. -- By 1862, in his business evolution, William had now added iron to his coal brokerage, as seen in the following advertisement.: 1862 -- TO CONSUMERS of first-class IRON. -- Orders for the Earl of DUDLEY's ROUND-OAK IRON may be forwarded to WILLIAM PHILLIPS, 25, Coal Exchange, London, consignee. -- The Times, Friday, Feb 07, 1862 1864 -- Periodical Sale (established 1843.) appointed to take place the first ... -- The Times, Monday, Mar 21, 1864 -- Property 1867 -- THE NATIONAL REFORM FETE AND BANQUET .to CELEBRATE the PASSING of the REFORM BILL of 1867, will take place at the CRYSTAL PALACE, on Monday, Sept. 30.

In making the foundations a Roman hypocaust was laid open, perhaps the most interesting of the many Roman remains discovered in London. It has been arched over, and is still visible. The interior decorations of the Exchange are by F.

Coal duties were charged to raise money for particular projects, such as the rebuilding of the City after the Great Fire in 1666. A new Coal Exchange and Market was constructed on Lower Thames Street, close to Billingsgate Market. The building was opened by Prince Albert in 1849. A Roman hypocaust was found during construction and preserved in the basement of the building. The market was designed by James Bunning, City Architect, in the form of a rotunda, with interior galleries and an iron framework. The decoration of the market was well-known, including murals showing some of the flowers and fossils found in coal formations. The building included offices for coal factors and others connected with the trade including the Corporation of London officers, who entered all ships bringing coal into the port of London, and collected the City dues on all coal brought within certain limits. The money collected by this tax was usually employed for metropolitan improvements. The Exchange was the property of the Corporation of London, and an open market was held there three days a week, on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. CONTENT Scope and content/abstract: Records of the Coal Exchange and Market, 1696-1962, including papers of the Clerk of the market, Mayor's Court verdicts regarding the market, rentals and tenancy agreements, financial accounts of the Coal Market and Coal Market Fund, photographs, pamphlets and histories of the market.

Phillips, Esq., Finsbury Square. -- Birmingham Post, 22 February 1860. The above advertisement lists R. Phillips, Esq., Finsbury Square. Richard Phillips was the father of William Phillips, Coal Trader and social reformer. Richard too was similarly committed to social reform, to permit all society to live their lives with dignity and grace, regardless of any inborn privilege of social standing. While it may appear a little odd that the Birmingham Post should be given this advertisement, as Richard's son, William, was by then a coal-broker, engaged in shipping coals nationwide, and may also by then have developed a manufacturing business which operated from Birmingham, there were possibly deeper Phillips connections with this city than are presently clear to us.

	melcir.meri says: Phillips residence -- No. 19 Sydenham Rise -- Steve Grindlay \|\| While we have not identified the location of William's marital family home prior to 1858, the leased residence at Honor Oak was not a permanent home. It has been suggested that sometime prior to 1862, the Phillips family moved on, to No. 19 Sydenham Rise, in Forest Hill, the residence which would later be known as "St Clair", by the junction with Sydenham Hill, near the Horniman Museum. An 1862 street directory has William Phillips listed at "Sydenham Rise". However, an image survives of the house, a prominent dwelling, positioned a little downhill from the Kirkdale / Sydenham Hill junction. However, the date and source data of this family move has yet to be formally established. The address on Fanny Clara's 1864 Death Certificate will help verify if the time of their move was indeed prior to 1864. In early 1862, another matter arose which captured William's desire to help -- namely the Lancashire cotton famine which had manifested itself as a by-product of the blockade on the export of American cotton, during that nation's Civil War. Not only were British mill operatives laid off, but many bankruptcies also occurred among tailors and drapers, due to a lack of fabrics with which to create their fashions and furnishings. 1862 -- LONDON, SATURDAY, FEB. 22. -- Daily News (London, England), Saturday, February 22, 1862 -- News An interesting overview of the generally difficult state of affairs in 1862, between Lancashire, Ireland and Italy, along with the arrival of Sir Robert Peel on the British political scene, may help us to understand why William chose to name his first son, William Peel Phillips. Presumably, he much admired the political style of Robert Peel. In addition, I have located some most informative reports in the local Newspapers of the day, including articles specific to William Phillips, on the London Relief for the Lancashire Cotton Famine. 1862 -- THE COTTON FAMINE IN LANCASHIRE -- A DEPOT FOR CLOTHING -- Acting upon the suggestion of the Lord Mayor, an empty room in the Coal Exchange has been given up for the reception of parcels, where they will be packed in large crates, and forwarded to the various distressed districts for distribution. Consignees are requested to be made to Mr. William Phillips, 25, Coal Exchange, E.C. Another depot is to be opened in the immediate vicinity of the Guildhall. -- The Essex Standard, and General Advertiser for the Eastern Counties, Colchester, Wednesday, October 01, 1862; reprinted Friday, October 03, 1862. There is also a letter, penned by William Phillips himself, seeking relief aid, which he sent to the Daily News.: 1862 -- THE DISTRESS IN LANCASHIRE -- LONDON WASTE AND LANCASHIRE WANT -- To the Editor of the Daily News -- William Phillips, 25, Coal Exchange, Nov. 6.

But it is unlikely that William Phillips would weigh-in as a subscriber to this new committee, when he presumably had already developed a secure working arrangement with Lord Mayor Cubitt's Mansion House Committee. Perhaps here, we stand before the second William Phillips, in his engagement wih a separate Lancashire Relief charity. 1863 -- Lancashire Distress -- MARYLEBONE COMMITTEE -- Chairman -- The Rev. C. J. P. Eyre, M.A., Rector of the Parish ... William Page Phillips, Esq. ... -- The Times, Monday, Jan 12, 1863. In addition, we have received from a descendant, a most informative 4-page mini pamphlet, entitled: THE GUILDHALL WINDOW -- "A reminiscence of the Lancashire Cotton Famine -- which tells the story: "The great Lancashire cotton famine was perhaps at its worst in 1862, when a London coal merchant named William Phillips, hearing of the widespread misery in the North, visited the districts of Bury, Burnley and Oldham to see the reality for himself. The result of this journey was that he wrote a letter to the London Times on the 6th October of that year, and from that letter I will venture to quote ... He wound up his letter by saying: "I will gladly take charge of any parcels addressed to me ... and will myself take them to the North and deliver them into the hands of gentlemen competent to distribute them with proper discrimination." ... But the work was far too great, and as he said, for one man to tackle, and as all the passages of the Coal Exchange were blocked with contributions, he handed the matter over to Lord Mayor Cubitt, who then took up the business and formed the Mansion House Committee, to whose hands it was continued during some months. When all that dreadful time was passed, ... Lancashire people did not forget to put up a permanent memorial of their gratitude to the people of London, for they raised a penny subscription in which all might join to pay for that lovely window which now, and for many generations to come, we hope, will charm all visitors to the venerable Guildhall. This memorial window was unveiled on the 15th July, 1868. ... I here remind them of the gracious help of the bountiful Londoners and of the generous-hearted William Phillips. I am glad to say that this noble man is still alive, over eighty years of age, and bright and happy, as he deserves to be." J. Noton, Southport, November, 1907. Alexander & Shepheard, Ltd., Rolls Buildings, Fetter Lane, E.C. -- In the Grass -- painting by Arthur Hughes,1864-65 \|\| In 1864, just 3 years after the birth of the couple's second son, William Peel, Fanny Clara passed away, at Forest Hill, Camberwell. -- The year of Fanny's death, and her long battle with a consumptive illness reminded me of the painting by Arthur Hughes (1831 -1915), "In the Grass" [above], in which a young woman with flowing red hair, reclines on the grass. She wears a white peasant blouse under a black bodice, and looks rather nervously at the artist, while holding a stem of bluebells, showing us that it is Springtime. She has also created a flower bracelet from a bluebell stem, which she wears on one arm.

It is most likely he sought to bring about some much-needed social health reforms, to improve London's impure, smoke-laden and sooty air, which had likely greatly contributed to, if not precipitated Fanny's early death. 1865 -- FINSBURY -- WILLIAM PHILLIPS A CANDIDATE --"There are three candidates, all in the Liberal interest for the vacancy created in the representation of this borough … which extends from Holborn to Stoke Newington … and the third, Mr. William Philips, addressed a meeting the other evening, and a vote was passed, though not unanimously, that he was a fit and proper person to represent the borough in Parliament." -- The Times, Friday, May 26, 1865. Once again, in the June announcement by the press, it was a Birmingham paper which took an interest in William's run for the Finsbury Liberal candidacy. Perhaps William had a colleague or relative who was then a reporter at Birmingham, or had his senior family perhaps formerly resided there, or indeed, had his own business interests by this time expanded to Birmingham?

The Eagle pub is also mentioned in a popular nursery rhyme verse: "Up and down the City Road, in and out The Eagle. That's the way the money goes -- Pop goes the weasle". We have yet to find an explanation for 'popping a weasle'. For added information about the EAGLE TAVERN, don't miss these: 1. -- Eagle Tavern / Grecian Theatre, City Road: Playbills and illustrations 2. In & Out the Eagle Tavern, Spitalfields 3. A published illustration of the Eagle Pleasure Gardens survives. Then, late in 1865, a further deep family loss struck William, with a strength which deeply affected his keen political progress. His older sister died, at Brighton. This double loss in such close proximity to the death of Fanny Clara, must have been a massive psychological blow to his goal of gaining firm public support as the next charismatic and capable representative of the area in which they had all been raised. 1865 -- Deaths – On the 12th inst., suddenly, at Brighton, LOUISA ELIZABETH, the beloved wife of Henry Kent, Esq., of Park Lodge, Camden-road, N., and eldest daughter of Richard Phillips, Esq., of Finsbury. Friends will please accept this intimation. -- The Times, Friday, Dec 15, 1865. WILLIAM MAKES A FRESH START & REMARRIES Just four months later, in April 1866, after enduring a lengthy series of tragic personal losses, William quietly remarried [details below]. Finally, the dark cycle which had for somr years undermined William's normally bright outlook, began to lift. -- We know little about his new wife, but as she was a governess in training, it is perhaps through his need to find a suitable goveness for his children, that William and Emily were brought together. 1866-- Marriage April 1866: -- Phillips William Camberwell 1d 953 -- STACE Emily Camberwell 1d 953 Camille Pissarro: Fox Hill, Upper Norwood (1870) -- by petrus.agricola \|\| 1866 - Wm PHILLIPS - Emily Stace, April 12 marriage, St Giles Camberwell, Surrey -- melcir.meri \|\| The families of both bride and groom appear on the marriage registration papers: Name: Emily Stace -- Spinster; Upper Norwood [ie.

Phillips Marriage: April 12 1866 - St. Giles, Camberwell, Surrey, However, the dark cycle of bereavements had not yet fully completed its course. Just a month later, yet another member of William's close family passed away. The death of William's father, Richard, who was at the time either visiting, or residing with William, was recorded in a notice inserted in the Daily News. 1866 -- PHILLIPS -- May 15, at Sydenham-rise, the residence of his son, William, in his 72d year, Mr. Richard Phillips, of St. Luke's Old Street, in which parish for more than 50 years, he was universally known and deservedly respected. -- Daily News, London, Wednesday, May 16, 1866 Richard Phillips. Estimated birth year: abt 1795 -- Age at Death: 71 - Death: June 1866 - Lewisham, Greater London, Kent. As three or more wills survive relating to the death of a Richard Phillips of 1866, obtaining a copy may better our understanding of the life and relatives of Richard Phillips: 1866 -- England -- Probate -- Wills and Administrations, 1861-1941 Land & Wills -- Richard Phillips WILLS 1866, p. 349 27 JUNE – PHILLIPS, Richard Effects under L=4,000. The Will of Richard Phillips formerly of Chiswell-street in the Parish of St Luke but late of 2 City-road both in the County of Middlesex Auctioneer and Appraiser deceased who died 15 May 1866 at Forest Hill Sydenham in the County of Kent was proved at the Principal Registry by the oath of Louisa Phillips of 2 City-road aforesaid Widow the Relict the sole Executrix. -- The first child of Wiliam's second mariage was born at Sydenham-rise, early in 1967. 1867 -- Births -- PHILLIPS -- On the 15th inst., at Sydenham-rise, the wife of William Phillips, Esq., of a son. -- The Morning Post, London, Monday, March 18, 1867; pg. 8 It is unclear from the above announcement, just where this birth took place -- at No. 19, Sydenham-rise, or at the new address, No. 1, Sydenham-rise. Both residences were on Sydenham-rise. While we should view the earlier Birth Certificates of Alice and William Peel, and also Richard Evelyn, children of William's first wife, for earlier residences, we should also view those of William's and Emily's two eldest children, Richard Cobden and Ernest Arnold, for the possibility of more recent short-term residences. We know only that, sometime prior to the 1871 Census, William, and Emily, his second wife, and his family, moved from No. 19 to No.1, both on Sydenham-rise, and were in residence there for the birth of Millicent Louise on 17th April, 1870, as recorded on her Birth Certificate. No. 1 Sydenham-rise is at the junction with Sydenham -hill. [A block of flats is now on the site.] Also in 1867, William attended All Saints Church, St. Johns-wood, to perform his duties as Best Man, in the wedding of Enrico Bevignani to Maria Kruls. We learn from the newspapers of the era that the Kruls-Bevignani wedding was celebrated at All Saints Church, St. Johns-wood, in 1867. 1867 -- The operatic Bevignani-Kruls couple's marriage ceremony took place at All Saints, St. Johns-wood, on 12 August. 1867. Marriage Sep 1867 -- BEVIGNANI Henry Francis M Marylebone 1a 864 Marriage Sep 1867 -- Kruls Maria Johanna N Marylebone 1a 864 [See MARRIAGE -- BEVIGNANI -- KRULS -- At All Saints, St. Johns-wood, Mr. H.

It would be of interest to obtain a copy of this marriage certificate, as perhaps William Phillips would have signed the Register, as Best Man, in Witness to the wedding. Bevignani's wife: Maria Johanna Meoline [daughter of Peter Tietjens] Bevignani [-1852 -1890], is variously described as from Argentina, and from the United States. The couple apparently had three children, the firstborn being son, Enrico Charles James Bevignani.

Registered 26th May 1870, Dulwich, Camberwell, Surrey. At the 1871 Census, William and family resided at No. 1 Sydenham Rise, listed by the Census-taker as Schedule No. 23 Sydenham-rise. 1871 CENSUS -- [Schedule No. 23] Sydenham Rise, Lewisham, Surrey William Phillips ----- Head M 45 Coal & Iron merchant St. Luke, Mddx Emily Phillips ------- Wife M 24 --------------------------- West Firle, Ssex Alice Phillips -------- Dau U 14 ---------------------------- Forest HIll Kent William P. ------------ Son U 10 ----------------------------- Forest Hill Kent Richard Cobden ---- Son U 04 ---------------------------- Forest Hill Kent Ernest Arnolds ------ Son U 02 ---------------------------- Forest Hill Kent Millicent Louisa ----- Dau U 4mos ----------------------- Forest Hill Kent Clara Agnes Bush - Fem U 28 Governess ------------ New Cross Kent Mary Emma Green - Fem U 22 Domestic Srvt --- Hatfield Peverill, Essx Clarissa Walhen --- Fem U 16 Domestic Servant ---Thursley, Surrey Mary Mayes ---------- Fem U 29 Domestic Servant -- Capel, Bedfords. Wm. and household seem to have maintained a residence at Sydenham Rise, until at least 1877, when his eldest surviving son, William Peel, went up to Cambridge. -- In the Cantab Alumnii his father was described as "merchant, of Sydenham Rise". -- NB: It is noted that a member of the Green family was again with the Phillips household, this time as a domestic servant. We do not yet know if Mary Emma was a younger sister of William's first wife, and thus an Aunt to Alice and William Peel. Mary Emma Green's birth was registered: Mar 1851 -- Green Mary Emma Witham 12 357 She appeared in the 1851 CENSUS: Green Mary 1851 Hatfield Peverel Witham, Witham 1861 England Census: Mary E Green -- Age: 10 Mother: Mary Green Father: William Green Birth: abt 1851 - Hatfield Pevl, Essex, England Residence: 1861 - city, Essex, England It is likely that Mary Emma Green married in the years, 1872-1880.

Whether they moved directly from Sydenham Rise to Hazelwood is unknown. They may have resided elsewhere in the interim. At the 1881 Census, Mary Emma Green was no longer in the household, but had apparently returned to her own family: 1881 British Census John GREEN Hd W Male 58 Stevenage, Hert Hay & Straw Dealer Mary A.

Signor Bevignani retired from Covent-garden several years ago, and, with the exception of conducting during one of M. Gran's tours in America, had not actively exercised his profession since. About 12 months ago he went to Naples, where he resided with his daughter, and enjoyed good health until last week. Then he was somewhat suddenly attacked by an illness, which terminated fatally after the lapse of a few days. Signor Bevignani was born in Naples in 1841, and for several years studied at the Naples Conservatoire, where he took the highest honours. For 25 years he conducted at Covent-garden. He also conducted during tours through Russia, where he received honours at the hands of the late Tsar, and in America. He conducted for Queen Victoria at Windsor Castle, for which service he received Royal recognition, and he was made a cavaliere of Italy by the late King Humbert. In 1867, Signor Bevignani married the niece of the late Mme. Tietjens, who died before him. -- The Times, Monday, Aug 31, 1903 -- Obituaries.

We have found but minimal detail of William's two wives, and his children. For example, we do not yet know which schools his daughters attended, or if the school records for female children were not entered into 19th Century Census results. Thus, if any further details are known to you, no matter how slight, we invite you to please share such data as you can access, from local Birth - Marriage - Death Certificates, to Wills, electoral records, Census details, school reports, news cuttings, family records, archived materials, correspondence, photos, postcards, etc., etc. We thus seek to make contact with local historians, plus with WP's descendants. By collectively combining even scraps of knowledge and information, we can assemble a more comprehensive history of his life, and gather photographs to bring his personal and career history to life.

Mr. Phillips devoted the principal part of his speech to answering arguments against free education, of which he is a warm advocate. He denied that the free school system would damage the religious interests of the children by undermining the voluntrary schools, or reduce the present rate of attendance. Having referred to the inequality of the fees of the present system, he said the humiliating and irritating influence that system had on poor parents compelled them either to keep the children at home or to half pauperize themselves by asking the parish guardians to pay the fees. Physical training should receive far more attention that it had hitherto done, and the restitution of the educational endowments which had been misappropriated should also receive early attention. -- The Times, Saturday, Oct 17, 1885, pg. 7 -- Category: News 1885 -- LAW INTELLIGENCE -- HIGH COURT OF JUSTICE -- QUEEN'S BENCH DIVISION -- OCT. 31 -- SCHOOL BOARD ELECTIONS -- The Court granted the application making the order asked for. ...
