Hi Thank you for your reply.
I don't think this is my family, my G Grandfather Henry phillips was born in 1871 which puts the age about right, he was found on the 1901 census, under the name of harry phillips Living with Annie maud Roberts and her family,at 101 south street, Newington, who he married 1 year later. I am sure this must be him as its to much of a coincidence. I cannot find his birth cert ,to say exactly where he was born but on the 1901 census it says Devonshire & he was a Labourer he was married in 1902 in Walworth, London & apparantly only had 1 child my Grandad Henry Athur Phillips in 1903, Lambeth.
