Phillips - Charles Harry, family

jdn5764

master brummie
I'm trying to do my family tree, slightly going off track with my Great Grandmothers sister Rosina.

Rosina (nee Hands) married a Charles Harry Phillips in 1895, he died in 1911 before the census. He was buried in Warstone Lane.

If anyone can find anything out about these people it would be appreicated.

I don't know if they had any children together, or if Rosina married after Charles' death.

Key Hil Brian did clean up my Great Grandmothers Grave a little while ago Mary Ann Allcock. I haven't been on here much as my own Father passed away in March of this year and I'm currently looking after my Mom (Mary's Grand-daughter) with terminal cancer. So I haven't been able to visit Mary's grave yet. Just wondered if the flowers that Brian Planted flowered?

Re: Charles Harry Phillips grave

Rosina Flynn buried 1941 in in section S grave 846.

There are two Charles Henry Phillips buried 1911 one in Vault 16 and the other in Vault K32.
 
If you have the date of death, we can work out which is 'yours', as the inscription on K32 shows the date of death.

Rosina Flynn: I have located the grave of Rosina Flynn. There is no (visible) memorial, but the adjoining memorials mean that it is possible to identify it. The pad of paper shows the location.
Facing Icknield Street, with Pitsford Street, the grave of Sarah Ann Barrett-Ware (S837) is immediately to the right. Joseph Jones(S845) is beyond the pad of paper. Bottom left-hand corner of photo is Alice Ellen Shaw (S859). Not all the memorials have numbers, but I have checked names/plot numbers with Wendy.
