Hi everyone,
I have been researching my maternal gr gr grandmother.
Her name was Harriet Phipps, from census and death/marriage certificates I know the following (still waiting on her birth certificate)
she was born 1839 - 41 in Maidstone Kent
Her parents were John Phipps ( a labourer) and Charlotte, nee Gunson
she and her siblings names and approx birth dates were:
Ann Phipps, born abt 1835
Charles Phipps, born abt 1837
Harriet (as above, birth date depends on her bith certificate, documents dont give a very accurate year)
Eliza Phipps born abt 1841
John Phipps born abt 1844
Edward Phipps, born abt 1848
Maria Phipps, born about 1851
Sarah Phipps, born abt 1851
William Phipps, born abt 1859
These siblings are from census records so i cant be precise about the years of birth

Hi Tracey. My great great grandfather was also a Phipps from the Maidstone area. I haven't come across your family yet. My family were paper makers hailing from the River area of Kent where they owned paper mills.My great grandfather born in Maidstone came to Devon to work in a paper mill as did my grandfather. My father (91) still lives in that area of Devon. Hope this is of interest to you. Kind regards, Tony Phipps.

Welcome to the British-Genealogy forums Tony.
Unfortunately TraceyNZ won't receive notification of your post as she is no longer a member of BG as indicated by the word "guest" under her name and we do not have any way of contacting her since her information was removed from the site.
Now you have found us why not have a look around the forums.

Just checked FreeBMD:
Birth Registrations all in Maidstone:
Harriett Dec 1838 5 265
Eliza Sep 1841 5 275
John Dec 1843 5 300
Edward Mar 1847 5 344
Maria Mar 1851 5 374
William Mar 1859 2a 472
There are two registrations for a Sarah:
Sarah Mar 1851
Martha Sarah Dec 1855
The registration for Sarah 1851 has a different volume number and page from Maria, also the birth was not registered until the Dec qtr. Whereas Maria was registered in the March quarter. There is also another entry for a Harriet registered in 1848.

Just read your response properly Christina. Of course if I had ready it thoroughly in the first place I would have realised!
