A little bit of interest, Phoebe wasn't the only one to have illegitimate children. Her mother (Sarah Woodin) had at least 2 and her grandmother (Ann Manning) also had at least one. Her half sister appears to have had at least one as well.

I tink it may be the marriage to Morris. On 1901 census Phoebe has a brother George. George marries a Nellie Hill and on the 1935 eroll Phoebe Morris and George + Nellie + William Arthur Rea live in Bell Barn Road.

iv found this. it looks like they could have been living next door to the reas maybe william was the head of 10 court 62and george was living with them,... do you think 1 court and 10 court are just different houses
 
The court number was 62 and numbers 1 and 10 were houses round the same courtyard I think. The map site I use is playing up (too many users at the moment i think) otherwise I would try to find it on a map. I will check and see if I can get a map. You often get family members in the same court - I suppose one member knew if a tenant was leaving and so was able to tell someone a property was to rent.
My money is on the marriage to Harry Morris - Linda being his daughter.

Sorry, I did miss him. He doesn't appear to be correctly registered on the GRO site.



Sarah Woodin wasn't married prior to marrying Thomas Reay.
