You could try here    http://www.freebmd.org.uk/cgi/search.pl
although it's only up to the 1930s/40s as it is being compiled by volunteers.

Will have a look.

I would suggest you start by purchasing the marriage certificate for Ethel Holland and John Phillips.

They married in the 4th (December) quarter of 1916 and the reference number is Middlesbrough 9d 987.

You can order the certificate here  http://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/

The certificate will give you the name of John's father, and also John's age and this will provide a starting point for you.

FreeBMD came up with:

December quarter 1916, Middlesborough, vol 9d, page 987

John Phillips to Ethel Holland


Also, December quarter 1929, Middlesborough, vol 9d, page 1317

John Phillips to Louisa E Hierons

There's a 1936 marriage in Middlesbrough as well, to Lily with the other surname.   May be connected.
