    Look up William Alfred Phillips RG14PN3954 RG78PN150 RD47 SD2 ED25 SN342

    Now William married firstly Elizabeth Canton in 1894 in Pembroke with whom he had his first 3 children (she died 1899), and secondly Flora Elizabeth Mason in Jun 1903 in Medway with whom he had a son David Mason Phillips who appears on the 1911 census to be his 4th child. However this census also shows that his second wife had two children. So is there another child of the second marriage not at home on census day or is the entry of 2 children a mistake?

          I would say first three children belong to first wife, but yes the second wife had two children in this marriage born alive and still living

          1911 - 15 Beresford Road, Gillingham Kent
          William Alfred Phillips, Head, 41, married ships fitter, Govt Dockyard, born Pembroke Dock
          Flora Elizabeth Phillips, wife, 35, married 8 years, 2child born, 2 child living, born Gillingham Kent
          William Canton Phillips, son, 16, single born Pembroke Wales
          Sydney Thomas Phillips, son, 14, single, born Pembroke Wales
          Reginald Alfred Phillips, son 12, single, born Gillingham Kent
          David Mason Phillips, son 2y, born Gillingham Kent


          Gillingham Kent, is in the Medway reg district and you should search the Medway CityArk website, where there are parish registers online - but they don't seem to be indexed, so you might have to search each register page by page.


          This is most likely Elizabeth's death registration:

          Deaths Mar 1899 Phillips Elizabeth 30 Medway 2a 418

          Marriages Jun 1903
          Mason Flora Elizabeth Medway 2a 1425
          Phillips William Alfred Medway 2a 1425

          Births Jun 1909 Phillips David Mason Medway 2a 780

          Possible other child
          Births Jun 1905 Phillips John Mason Medway 2a 773

          1911 census

          John Phillips, grandson, 5, born Gilingham Kent
          in the household of John (Joseph) Mason, 57, ship fitter and Elizabeth Mason, 59 (married 36y, 1 child living).
          25 College Terrace, Gillingham Kent

            Well done Di, good piece of research. I am sure you have found the missing child.

              Seems likely, although there are lots of Phillips births in Medway in the period. Only the birth cert would tell for sure. Or baptisms if you can find them.

              Marriage cert for Flora and William would give names of her parents to confirm, or earlier census if you can locate them.

              Until I saw the John Mason Phillips, I thought the first one was probably a daughter, with the first son being David Mason Philllips.
