William and Silas PHELPS (General)
John Phelps (abt 1840) and his wife Charlotte (abt 1841 nee Brain) had several children, one being Silas born abt 1861. I have not found baptism for Silas but came across a baptism record for a William Phelps, baptised the same year (17.02.1861) as aprox birth date of Silas. If this is, so far (in my records), an unknown child of John and Charlotte, he does not show up on any census records. I wonder if perhaps Silas and William were twins? but can find no evidence of this or a death record. Anyone any ideas? Jean
