My family were staff to William Phillipps, Shipowner and owner of Reigate Lodge from the 1830's until at least the 1870's. He not only employed Robert Walter and his family in various capacities within the household, but he seemed to have helped others of the family find professional roles outside the household. I'm not sure if Phillipps had role in cricket, but my 1859 Robert' nephew and my great, great grandfather, Clarence Richard Walter got his first class debut in Reigate in 1859. Clarence later went to Wales and was pivotal in building what is now the Glanmorgan County Cricket Club. If anyone has any more information I'd love to hear it Comment 2

The above mentioned Robert Walter was my great, great grandfather, born Blackheath. He was employed as coachman by William Phillipps of Reigate Lodge for many years, his wife Mary worked in the laundry there and it seems a daughter Anne was also employed as a servant at the lodge. My great grandfather Richard Walter,was the youngest child of Robert and Mary, he married Elizabeth Paterson in London, they had 8 children. Their 4th child, my grandmother Florii married Harry Pitt and immigrated to NZ in 1905. I would love to hear any more information of interest. |
