I dunno but wasn't Pip in 'The Old Curiosity Shop' by Dickens? One of his books anyway.

[keen2learn]

Pip was in Great Expectations, and his (dead) mother was called Georgiana. No help, I know!

I think No 4 is Joshua (a very old song goes 'Joshua, Joshua, sweeter than lemon squash you are'

[landie]

I need to revise my last answer.

Pip, or Philip Pirrip, featured in Great Expectations by Dickens. I believe his mother's name was Georgiana and died when Pip was quite young.

Pips mother is Ruth. ( the Archers radio serial).
