spouse's records

m Elizabeth AMISE1690

 

 

 

 

Philip Hempson was born about 1665 probably in Brightlingsea, son of Philip Hempson, a yeoman.  He married Elizabeth Amise at Great Oakley and settled in the nearby parish of Ramsey.

 

Philip and Elizabeth baptised eleven children at Ramsey between 1692 and 1705 but six of them died as infants. Elizabeth herself died shortly after her last child was born and Philip died two years later aged about 40. They were all buried at Ramsey 

 

In his will made just before he died, Philip left cash and property in four different parishes to his children and was wealthy enough to be called a gentleman of Ramsey

BIRTH

 

Philip was married in September 1690 and spent all his married life in the parish of Ramsey where he was buried in 1707, so a birth around 1660/69 or earlier is expected. The registers of Ramsey survive from 1648, but the baptism of Philip is not recorded there.

 

The Ramsey register however shows that a Rhilip and Anne Hempson baptised 5 children in the parish between 1675 and 1683. This Philip was buried in Ramsey in 1692 and his will signed in January 1684/5 shows that he then had a son named Philip under age so born after Jan 1664.

 

Given the right name date and parish it is beyond reasonable doubt that Philip and Anne were the parents of Philip Hempson 10 born between Jan 1664 and Sep 1669 (1667+/-3). The discussion of Philip Hempson-11 suggests he may have been born in Brightlingsea though the registers there have not survived before 1697.

MARRIAGE 

Susan Hempson-9 was baptised at Ramsey in 1704/5 daughter of Philip & Eliz Hempson.  At least eleven baptisms to these parents in Ramsey are directly preceded by a suitable marriage in the neighbouring parish of Great Oakley:
