I've tried the FoD Inquests and there is a George Phipps from Pillowell, Collier who died at Fancy Colliery, witnessed by son William, but that was 1901.
see http://www.forest-of-dean.net/inquests/images/E278.png

The national database of pit disasters lists a George Phipps which at first glance I thought was in 1889, but actually 1859 altho was in the local(ish) area:

So in conclusion, as tinternet & compooter never lies, it's clear

YES "she dun im in, gud n proper" !

PS perhaps someone could lookup the Collier's Roll cd for him, please, just in case ?.
