Hi

Do you have birth date of John Phillips?

Alison

Yes, he was born 1847 in Swansea

Looking at the 1881 census, it seems they probably married either in Kent, or possibly in Cornwall/Devon or Swansea - these are all places where John, a shipwright, could have been working.

Phillips is difficult!  Especially with names John and Elizabeth - I'd suggest getting the birth certificate of one of the children, that would give you her maiden  name - then finding the marriage, hopefully she's not Elizabeth Smith, Brown, or Williams!

Any idea of what John's middle name might be?

Hi Jorose,
John's middle name was Edward, thanks for looking for me.

There's a possiblity 1875 in Swansea - John Edward Phillips m. possibly Elizabeth Jane Mener.  Mener is unusual name and it might be a mistake/change from Menear which is common in the South-west.  (this is from freebmd)

Thanks for that I'll do some more searching.
