Find Ancestors

Long shot, with very little information, but here goes.
I am trying to trace any family members of a Miss/Mrs D A Phillips of Liverpool Road Islington. Her details are on my Great Nans death certificate in 1948 as being the informant., she is listed as my Great Nans daughter which to me is new news but I supoose in could mean daughter in law? or it might have been a birth after 1911 I have no knowledge about..
See if anyone has an thoughts please.

Raymond, it might make it easier for us to help if you tell us more about your great-nan.

Where/when she was born, who she married, etc.

We can then look at records in the correct context.

Can you tell us your Great-Nan's name - married and maiden?

Raymond - does your great-nan's death certificate suggest she was already widowed?

What a star Brummiejan, another addiotion to the family tree, any other surprises?

It does not look likely that Doris and Alfred Phillips had any children.

Tell you what folks, you are stars.
If any of you are still about, and I promise you from my limited resources I have managed on my own to find out a fair bit but have come to a halt on EDWINS family, we now know he was born in c1876 and died 1965, thanks to you. But his father, also Edwin born c 1846 in Jersey, dont know when he died??? married to Mary Ann nee Mahoney 1886 (second marrige), have been trying to find out when he died and when/whom his first marriage was to, as his children were from his first marriage.

Secondly his father EDWARD appears on census in about 1851 and then completely disapears. Born c1824 married to Sarah Gloyns Devonport.

Can you do it again?? :-(
