Phillis Craddock
ID # 7702, (1809-1872)
| Father | Benjamin Craddock (1791-) |
| Mother | Sarah Wilson (1791-) |
| Birth | Phillis Craddock was born on 30 December 1809 at Leeds, Yorkshire, England. |
| Baptism | She was baptized on 23 January 1810 at St. Peters, Leeds, Yorkshire, England. |
| Marriage | She married William Milnes on 14 June 1826 at St. Peters, Leeds, Yorkshire. Two sources are available for the marriage of William Milnes and Phillis Craddock. The first is an image from the marriage book at St. Peters Church in Leeds, Yorkshire, England. The image is quite smeared, but is sufficiently readable to agree with the second source which essentially a transcription of the image. This latter is from a database entitled, England, Select Marriages, 1538—1973. The image at first glance is doubtful, for it unquestionably shows the groom as William Mills. Quite reasonably, the transcription shows him as the same. The marriage date is shown as 14 June 1826. The bride is shown as Phillis Craddock The transcription, while found on Ancestry, is taken from FHL film nbr. 0918384-0918386 That William's name was erroneously rendered as Mills rather than Milne should become clear enough when examining the names of the children, one son, Benjamin Craddock Milnes, in particular. |
| Death | She died in 1872. |
| Note | The church of St. Peter in Leeds has a baptism page for 1910. This shows the birth of Phillis Craddock as being on 30 December, 1809, and her baptism as 23 January, 1910. Her father's name only is shown and he is Benjamin Craddock. His residence is shown as Garland Fold. FreeBMD shows the death of a Phillis Milnes in Leeds in the first quarter of 1872 and this is almost certainly Phillis, the widow of William Milnes. She is not to be found in the 1881 census. |
