I am trying to trace this rather elusive family of my wifes who she has come to a standstill, as to whether that is family secrets I do not know but all my wife wants to do is contacgt if you have any info on the Phillips family from County Durham.
The areas we think they were most proflic in was Houghton Le Spring, Hetton Le Hole ,Durham it self Sedgefield and all the mining villages around there.
They were a family of miners and my wifes Grandmother was Forence Halliwell also a well known family there are also the Coxons But we are particully keen to trace John Robert Phillips born about 1912 there is also a tie with the Nicholson Family.
So any help we would be most grateful.
