A W Phillips was born on 6 April 1819, the son of a Scotsman, William Edward Phillips, Governor of Prince of Wales Island (Penang) and Janet Bannerman whom he had married in Penang in June 1818. He went to Haileybury in1837 and came "out" as a Madras Writer in 1839. He rose through various judicial appointments to become the Acting Civil and Special Judge of Ootacamund in 1864. He is recorded as being on furlough 1850-3 which is presumably when he married. A W Phillips was quite an artist; prints of four paintings he made of an Indian boar hunt were published in London in 1851.
