Hi wizard28/tonkin Thomas Arthur Park Philpott and May Miriam Philpott (nee Keen) were my fathers parents and they did live at 15 Ashmore St East Brunswick. Dad had 3 brothers........John Wilson, William and there is a son Edward who was living at Bega NSW. I was aware there were relatives of my grandfather (Thomas Arthur Park Philpott) coming from England but had no details. I also have no family details of my grandmother (May Miriam Philpott). I wonder if she had siblings and where did her parents come from. I wonder when my great grandparents came out from England and where did they settle etc.....so many questions but how and where do I go for more answers? I thank you so much for this info you have supplied. Any info about my grandmothers family would be wonderful. Regaards Elizabeth May Browne (nee Philpott)

Thomas Arthur PHILPOTT.
Died 09 September 1983, aged 61 years, and was Cremated at the Fawkner Cemetery on the 13 September 1983. If this your father?
Victoria electoral rolls.
1939
15 Ashmore Street, Thomas Arthur Philpott occ carpenter and May Miriam Philpott home duties.
on same page at 91 Stewart Street Harriett Louisa Philpott, home duties (Living alone) could this be Thomas's mother ?
1941
15 Ashmore Street, Thomas Arthur Philpott occ carpenter and May Miriam Philpott home duties.
Harriett not shown.
If this is the correct Thomas and May your parents, they must have married when they were abt 17 if they were born c1923
The couple above are not your parents but could well be your g/parents.

I wonder when my great grandparents came out from England and where did they settle etc.....so many questions but how and where do I go for more answers?
