This marriage:
Marriages Dec 1906
BERRYMAN George Brighton 2b 545
PHILLIPS Bertha Mabel Brighton 2b 545

Have you found children and grandchildren for them as you are on the Find Living Relatives board?

Sorry, are you trying to find descendants of Bertha's brothers and sisters?

What research have you done so far to locate them, and how are you related to them?

Have you looked to see if anyone on here has them in their trees, and tried to make contact through genes with them?

Someone born in 1879 could have many living relatives, and the surname Phillips is very common if they spread throughout the country.

Added:
Marriages Sep 1905
EDWICKER Charlie Brighton 2b 521
PHILLIPS Milly Brighton 2b 521

Not so many Edwickers.

?
Milly Edwicker
Birth Date: abt 1881
Date of Registration: Dec 1939
Age at Death: 58
Registration District: Brighton
Inferred County: Sussex
Volume: 2b
Page: 699
Have you got the death certificate for more information?

There are 4 children showing on the 1911 census for Milly, (5 born, 1 died) have you followed then for marriages and deaths?
The census also says they have been married 8 years....

with these four there is no father down on the births
records,
but my two aunts when they got married
Lydia ellen put George berryman
down has her dad
edith may put harry shepherd
down has her dad.
because my gran lived with him
for number of years until her death in 1938
