Battersea
Frederick Phillips engine fitter aged 39 born London
Augusta Phillips aged 37 born Guernsey
Auguster dau 13 born Pimlico

The fact that Augusta was born in Guernsey could be the French connection

Baptism for Ediths sister Jemima - states mother Anne Bisson

You would need the marriage between George Green & Ann(e ) Bisson to search for any French connection. Guernsey census are available on familysearch under England & Wales records.

Edith Louise Mary Ridley was my grandmother. She lived in Chelsea with husband Frank (Died ~1936 so I never knew him) who was a compositor working on the typesetting of books for Eyre & Spottiswood publishers. Their daughter Frances, my mother was the youngest sister. I knew of an Aunt Lilian but never met her, Isabel or their brother Fred. I did meet the eldest daughter Edith many times. I have a photo of my mother with Lilian when Lilian was May Queen of Chelsea.
The young man that I knew as Uncle Lionel was actually her illegitimate son who was was brought up as the son of Frank and Edith.
My great-grandfather Frederick Philips was a civil engineer and had something to do with the great Exhibition, in particular the fountain and he sometimes had to use diving gear to maintain it - hence the diver bit maybe.
Hope we can chat some more.

We have always been lead to belive they moved from London (walked apparently) to ipswich 32 shakespeare Road because Albert was having a affair and had other children in London.
Most of Albert and lilian children were born before marriage and most in London.
I don't know much about Albert only that he went blind drank alot of tea and smoked alot

Albert had another son called Denis .I don't know who is mum is though
