Jolin Family History


Philippe JOLIN [Parents] was christened 1 on 31 Mar 1802 in St Helier, Jersey, Channel Islands. He died 2 in 1862 in Clerkenwell, London. He married Harriet TOMLIN.

Philip Jolin was an apothecary/surgeon. According to his entry in the entry books of the Court of Examiners of the qualifications of candidates of the Society of Apothecaries (now kept at the Guildhall Library in London), Philip Jolin had been an apprentice to Charles Goodwin of London, apothecary, for five years from 26 July 1830 to 26 July 1835. He failed to attend for examination on 6 February 1845, but he did attend a week later and was approved on 13 February. His age at that time was recorded as 43.

An apothecary was originally the humble tradesman of the medical profession and specialised in making up medicines. He had to serve a five-year apprenticeship. He also advised on treatments to people who could not afford to consult a physician. Most surgeons had learnt by watching leading surgeons at work and by studying anatomy in a hospital mortuary. Some surgeons were too poor for this training and had begun by helping the injured whilst in the army. Many surgeons went on to train as apothecaries so that they could prescribe medicines as well as carry out operations. This could explain why Philip Jolin completed his apprenticeship at such a late age. These apothecary/surgeons were the forerunners of the general practitioners we know today.

Philip first set up in business on his own as a surgeon at 17 St John's Square, Clerkenwell, and advertised his business in the 1845 edition of the London Post Office Directory. Three years later he had moved to 22 Coppice Row, Clerkenwell, where he lived until his death.

1851 and 1861 Census - birthplace given as St Helier, Jersey, age as 49 and 59 respectively. Note the entry in the 1841 Census for St Helier of a Jacques Jolin, physician, aged 75, (ie born between 1762 and 1766, rounded down) living by himself in Halkett Place. He could be the Jacques baptised in 1764, who was the uncle of Philippe.

No marriage record found. He lived at 22 Coppice Row with his housekeeper, Harriet Tomlin, until his death in 1862. Son, PHILLIP, born in 1844, but not registered, presumably to hide his illegitimacy. Nor was the boy recorded as living with his father at the time of the 1851 and 1861 Censuses. However, in 1862 when he died Philip’s will, left all of his property and effects to his housekeeper, Harriet Tomlin, spinster, and to his natural son, Philip Jolin, who he stated was now living with him, for their joint and mutual benefit. Harriet Tomlin would seem to have been Philip's mother.

Harriet TOMLIN was christened 1 on 11 Aug 1820 in Boston, Lincolnshire. She died 2 in Dec 1887 in Barton Regis Reg District, now Bristol. She married Philippe JOLIN.

Family legend has it that Edward Philip was a coastguard at Bishopstone, Herne Bay/Reculver after retiring as a sailor and was said to have come fom Jersey.

According to Census Returns and the registration of his death, Edward Philip was most likely to have been born in 1846. His place of birth is said by descendents to have been Jersey, and this was also stated on the Census Returns. However, there seems to be no record of the birth or baptism of an Edward Jolin on Jersey around that time. The only Edward Jolin found born around that time in Britain as a whole was an Edward Jolin born in Dorset in 1846, the son of Maria Jolin, the widow of James Jolin, dyer, of Poole - SEE SEPARATE DETAILS ON JAMES JOLIN AND MARIA NEWMAN . I have found no baptism or registration entry for his birth, but he appears in the:
