Gloria Bruce and I have debated at length where or not the wife of Philip Field was Mary Jane Wheeler, daughter of James Richard Wheeler and Jane (?) his wife. I had accepted this as probable despite the absence of a marriage record to support it until yesterday when Gloria came upon a marriage record for Mary Jane Wheeler to Richard Cook(e) further supported by death records for the two of them. So I disconnected Mary Jane Wheeler from Philip Field and connected her to this "new" person in my family tree. But that has left Philip without a mother for his two children, whose mother in their birth-baptismal records is shown only as "Jane".

We now suspect that the real wife of Philip Field is Lucy Jane Wheeler, daughter of Philip Wheeler and Hannah Murrin/Murren/Murrain. The ages are comparable and these two families were extremely close in location (Torbay Rd) and multiple intermarriages.

So, for now at least, I am going to make this connection pending some evidence to either support this theory or destroy it. 585

Notes

I believe this Phillip Field is the son of Phillip Field who married Mary Jane Wheeler. The date of their marriage and the location where they lived (Quidi Vidi Rd., where all the Wheelers lived over the years) makes this seem likely. If so, this would make Elizabeth Wheeler, who was born out of wedlock to a different father, his half sister.

Notes

230421:

It is not 100% certain that this child's parents are William Field and Mary Anne Wheeler-Kingsbury because the mother's Christian name is spelled Marianne in the transcript on NGB. It could be a transcription error. This cannot be verified because the church register is not available online and the birth-baptism and death are not recorded in the Vital Statistics available on the FamilySearch website.
