woman Posted 22 April , 2017 Share Posted 22 April , 2017 At long last here are the pictures you requested. CPJ (Charles Phipps John) is my husband's grandfather, brother to Hugh. If you check a site (peerage.com) you will find Hugh and his ancestors there although we have put the wrong year for Hugh's birth.
