LDS micro-fiche records of his children with his name as the father and his wife as the mother.
A Theodore Syphus is found recorded as being christened on March 25, 1857 in Westminster, Saint Martin in the Fields, London, England. Mother is Martha Syphus with no father's name. And also his temple work that was done. In 1874 there is a Theodore Syphus who came to America with Matthew and Mary Syphus who could be his grandparents. No age was given for him except that he was an adult. We have no record of a Theodore getting married in England.
Tax list of 1859 - No Syphus found.
Ref: C001453-11444. LDS records. Cannot be sealed to parents as his father is unknown.
Family Group Sheets of Matthew Syphus and Mary Long Syphus, husband and wife, from the sheets sent in by the Whiteny Family, have Theodore Charles Syphus a son of Matthew and Mary although this is wrong as their son Theodore is listed in their handwritten group sheet written in 1878 showing a Theodore as their son, born in 1845 and dying by the year 1878. This Theodore cannot be their son as he was married in 1888. This must be a grandson, son of Martha Syphus.
