I am Looking for any information on Joseph Phillips born in Birmingham Warwickshire c1868?.
On the 1901 Census he was on Weaver's square Leeds as a Hawker of flowers with Edith Phillips (nee Frisby)

I have found no Married for them as it says on the 1911 census they had been married for 11 years
Also Joseph's Death certificate says he was 85 years old (1868) in Bradford but on the census it says he was born in 1875 in Birmingham, making him 78 and on Find my Past 1939 his date of birth is put down as 17 April 1871.

He played the Banjo in theatres and was part of the 8 Lancashire Lads with Charlie Chaplin.

He had many Jobs in his life.
1901 Hawker flowers(Leeds), 1911 Joiner, 1914-1918(Bradford) Munition works Bradford,1920 General Dealer(Bradford),1928-1938 Ice vendor/Manufacture (Bradford) ,1943 Firewatcher (Bradford).

Does anyone have a missing Joseph Phillips on their Family Tree?
 
I'm afraid that none of these people seem to coincide with the dates and names that I have in my family. Good luck with your search!
