  Research Notes:

So far unable to find Thomas and Elizabeth Whipps with daughter Georgina on a 1851 US census.. (as of Oct 2004)
__________________________________________
(note that Thomas Whipps seems to get steadily younger .. on the 1891 census shows as 11 years younger than his wife... how does he do that??)
( A search of Rama twp, in Ontario for the 1861 census did not show any of the Whipps family)
