Hi Tati, Thanks for your reply. Thomas only married in Feb.1882 so, having the 1891 census and 1901 after he was married there is no mention of a son Thomas.
I did find a Thomas H Phillips on the 1861 census living at 119 Great Barr Street, Deritend, Aston, father George, a butcher, however according to this he was born in Cheltenham, and all the other census details I have say he was born Birmingham. The whole problem is there were a great many Phillips, all living in Aston and several Thomas Phillips, and having been through the BMD indexes several could cover his birth and death, I have already sent for several certificates which are wrong and as you know its expensive. Will keep your details in mind, you never know there might be a connection, thanks anyway.
