Mark Phipps 1863 6th Feb. 1886 at St George, Bloomsbury (although marriage records show St Giles) aged 22 yrs, son of John, to Rose Read, daughter of William, aged 20yrs 1906 at 42 yrs. in West Ham

Eppingfield

The 1901 Census shows him and one female, presumably his earlier wife Eliza, as living at ‘Beechwood’, Forest Road, in the parish of St James, Enfield Highway. The 1911 Census shows him and a female as living at 17, Forest Road, Enfield St George. Genes Reunited records him in the 1901 census as being born in 1855. Thus, at his death in 1925, he would have been 70 rather than 79 yrs. Something amiss here.

Eppingfield Marriage - Maurice Eppingfield married in 1925 at West Ham to Rose H. Phipps

I visited her grave, for the first time, at Coggeshall Cemetery on the 29th Aug 2013 and found the following inscriptions -

headstone - ‘In loving memory of Benjamin Hawes passed away Dec 31st 1954’

footstone - ‘In ever loving memory of Kathleen Bessie Hawes who fell asleep Dec 24th 1946 aged 27 years'.
Also of Anthony John Gaubert, beloved son of Mrs B Hawes who fell asleep 19th  Sept 1953 aged 27 years’


Kathleen's mother’s maiden name was Turner. Benjamin Hawes married Bessie M. Turner in 1916 at West Ham. She died 1934 at West Ham. Benjamin remarried in 1935 to my grandmother Rose Gaubert nee Phipps).

Other children of Benjamin Hawes & Bessie Turner include -

Walter A Hawes born 14th May 1917, registered  in West Ham. This is 'Uncle Wally' who worked alongside Dr Barnes Wallis, designer of the ‘bouncing bomb’ of ‘The Dambusters’ fame) at some stage of his career. Wally had a cinema ticket for the premiere of the film. A Walter A. Hawes was married at Braintree, Essex to a Gladys D. King in 1941. Uncle Wally came to my first marriage at Chelmsford cathedral in 1966 and had a drinking session, unbeknown to me until recent times, with my brother Paul.
