  • Notes 
    • Early Life
      Simon Gipps was the son of Roger Gipps of Newington, and Helen Brockman. He was born in April 1648 and baptised on the 23rd of April that year at Newington next Hythe in Kent.

      Career
      On his first marriage Simon is described as a physician, at his second as a "chirurgeon", i.e. surgeon or physician. The Kent Archaeological Society issued a paper on Kent apothecaries which mentions Simon:
      On April 14 1672, Simon Gipps, bachelor c. 24, physician of Sittingbourne, was granted a licence to marry Elizabeth Goulding and on February 1, 1675/6 Simon Gipps, widower of Charing, surgeon, to marry Ann Landman of Deal. In 1680, Simon Gipps, surgeon, husband of Ann, daughter of Henry Landman, innholder, was admitted as a freeman of Canterbury marriage.


      Family Life
      Simon Gipps married first Elizabeth Golding/Goulding on the 14th of April 1672 at St Mary Bredin, Canterbury; she evidently died shortly after so Simon married second Anne Landman on the 1st of February 1676 at Hackington in Kent; together they had:
      1. Anne, bapt. 12 Nov 1676 but who died in 1677
      2. Sarah, bapt. 13 Dec 1677
      3. Ellen, bapt. 1 Aug 1679
      4. Henry, bapt. 1681 and who married Sarah Flint
      5. Anne, bapt. 1683
      6. Elizabeth, bapt. 1689

      Simon is described as "Gentleman" in some of these baptismal records.

      Death
      Simon died in 1690, aged just 42, and was buried on the 16th of August at St Peter & St Paul, Charing in Kent. His will is available at Canterbury, ref PRC/27/32/134, but is unfortunately not online. Access to that will would help establish if he truly was the father of Henry Gipps of Canterbury, as I believe.

      Footnotes
      [1] Note that Simon's baptismal record is not properly keyed in the indices, so hard to find. It is on the same page as his sister Margery's baptism in 1650, and his brother George's baptism in 1646.
