K, did not need to hear that! A few William and Mary's? Ugh. I thought I had finally found Phillipa's parents. :( K, here is what I know about Phillipa, my gg grandmother.
birth approx 1825 England
(therefore I am looking for a William and Mary who would fit the approp. age as parents)
death Sept 12, 1887
her will went to probate November 15 1887
Phillipa married William Costly/Costley (possibly Costello) June 18, 1858, Seymour Twp., Northumberland Co., officiated by FJL Graves, United Church of England and Ireland.
Something to note: on the records, parents are listed as Pascoe Hoskin and Mary. But witness is also listed as William Pascoe. I think in actual fact, I am looking for a William and Mary Hoskin.
The first census I have her located in is the 1861, Village of Campbellford, born England, age next birthday 35. Mind you, in the 1871 census she is again listed as born England, age 35. 1881 census, born England, age 56.
Phillipa was admitted to Rockwood Hospital, Kingston, sometime between March 27, 1885, when her will was written in Campbellford and September 12, 1887, date of her death. My mother often mentioned, when I asked her about Phillipa, that Helen, (oldest sister) often repeated the story that "Great Grandma was a very sick woman", but couldn't elaborate.
I only just learned about Rockwood, thanks to Michael Stephenson ontariogenealogy. I have requested the complete record but I think he's away right now.
I have fingers, toes crossed that her asylum records will tell me more about her family.
Anything else I can provide that might be of help in finding her family, ask away. I have alot of info gathered already on this couple.
Thank you so much for your time.
