On the marriage certificate (image available on Ancestry, though as you know the date and place of marriage presumably you already have a copy) Hubert's father is given as John Gilroy Phillips, occupation publican.

Should have added that Hubert left a will. Might be worth spending £1.50 to find out the contents.

One of the witnesses is Septima SS Phillips, who appears on the 1939 register in Holborn with an assortment of different birthdays - either 2 Jul 1878, 2 Jul 1874, or 2 Jul 1884!!
Septima Sarah Susan Phillips died in 1957, and her YoB on that record is c1879. Probate to Westminster Bank
With her is a Marie L Phillips born 30 Mar 1912

Septima is - I think - in Wandsworth in 1911:
Herman A Lunan 36 Single - Head/ Private means
John Phillips 38 Nurse Attendant born Neath, Glamorgan
Septima Phillips 32 wife of ditto born Fenny Stratford, Buckinghamshire
Married 7 years, 6 children born and still living, but none with them in the census.

I think this might end up being complicated!
Septima's birth:
LEWIS, SEPTEMA SARAH SUSAN mmn ACOME GRO Reference: 1878 S Quarter in NEWPORT PAGNELL Volume 03A Page 599
By 1901 she is in St Pancras 'married' to Albert McCarthy RG13, Piece 153, Folio 132, Page 93
Searching for anyone named Hubert James born 1907 mmn LEWIS brings up this birth/baptism:
CAMERON, HUBERT JAMES mmn LEWIS GRO Reference: 1907 M Quarter in LAMBETH Volume 01D Page 488
Baptism at Holy Trinity, Tulse Hill, Lambeth
19 Oct 1910 (born 4 Feb 1907) Hubert James s/o John Gilroy & Septima Sarah Susan CAMERON, Male Attendant
Also baptised to the same parents were:
John Gilroy CAMERON b 6 Nov 1905
Donald Arthur CAMERON b 23 Mar 1908
Philip Duncan CAMERON (no DoB given)
CAMERON, JOHN GILROYE mmn LEWIS GRO Reference: 1905 D Quarter in WANDSWORTH Volume 01D Page 697
CAMERON, DONALD ARTHUR mmn LEWIS GRO Reference: 1908 J Quarter in WANDSWORTH Volume 01D Page 667
CAMERON, PHILIP DUNCAN mmn LEWIS GRO Reference: 1910 M Quarter in WANDSWORTH Volume 01D Page 667
Haven't checked for the others, but this will be the Marie L Phillips with Septima on the 1939 register:
CAMERON, MARIE LOUISE mmn LEWIS GRO Reference: 1912 J Quarter in CROYDON Volume 02A Page 733Last edited by Jomot1; 17-02-2023 at 1:08 PM. Reason: added info

The address for the baptisms was 183 Brixton Hill, and just to complicate things, in 1911 at that address:
Augusta Brooker 39 Single Housekeeper b Thornton Heath, Surrey
Audrey Phillips 12 Daughter b Lewisham
Guy Phillips 9 son b Tooting London
John Phillips 6 son b Tooting, London
James Phillips 4 son b Brixton Hill
Donald Phillips 3 son b Brixton Hill
Duncan Phillips 1 son b Brixton Hill

I don't have access to the full 1921 census, but from the free index only the family is under the surname PHILLIPS on 1921 and living in Lambeth
JG Phillips b 1873 Neath, Glamorgan
Septimer Phillips b 1879 Stratford, London (likely to be a bad transcription of Fenny Stratford, Bucks)
John b 1906 Tooting
James b 1907 Brixton Hill
Donald b 1908 Brixton Hill
Philip b 1910 Brixton Hill
Marie b 1912 Hackbridge, Surrey
This would appear to be the birth Registration for John Gilroy PHILLIPS aka John Gilroy CAMERON - interesting mother's maiden name:
CAMERON, JOHN GILROY mmn PHILLIPS GRO Reference: 1872 S Quarter in NEATH Volume 11A Page 522

1901
St Pancras
Albert Mc Carthy 1878 engineer
Sephina Mc Carthy 1879
Anldery Mc Carthy think this is Audrey) c1900
Stella Mc Carthy c1901 (4 months)
On the baptism of Stella father is Albert Oliver Charles Michael McCarthy.Engineer
There’s a criminal record for an Albert McCarthy,Engineer which is very unpleasant and could explain Septima using Cameron rather than McCarthy.

I think she was using CAMERON as she had taken up with John Gilroy CAMERON, but I dont know yet why he was using the surname Phillips.
