    Jomot1 - I'd already had no luck searching for a birth for John Gilroy Phillips, and then once I started looking for Septima I just knew it was going to evolve into one of those really messy families.
    I found actually found Septima's death and birth registrations easily, as well as her 1881 census entry.
    Even using the date of birth in the 1939 Register, I found no trace of a birth registration for Marie L Phillips.

    I did find a Septima Sarah Susan Phillips living in Tyron Street, Chelsea in the electoral roll for 1933.
    Also in the same houshold were Charles Alfred Phillips and Philip Duncan Phillips.
    The latter must be the Duncan Phillips who's aged 1 in the 1911 census (your post #7), and the Philip born 1910 in the 1921 census. (your post #8) No wonder I couldn't find a birth registration for Philip Duncan Phillips. Couldn't you just throttle some people!!

    And I know I'm doing this back to front, but a year earlier, 1932, electoral roll. Tyron Street, Chelse.
    Septima Sarah Susan Phillips, with Charles Alfred Phillips, Donald Arthur Phillips, and Philip Duncan Phillips.

    1928 electoral roll
    City of London -8 Addle Hill London E.C.4. - Septima Sarah Susan Phillips (abode 88 Lewisham High Rd, S.E.)

    1929 electoral roll
    44 Broadwall, Lambeth S.E.1. - John Gilroy Phillips and Septima Sarah Susan Phillips.

    Also in the same house was Alice Clifton.

    It looks like John Gilroy Cameron/Phillips reverted back to his birth name at some point, as this must surely be his death:

    CAMERON, JOHN GILROY aged 84 GRO Reference: 1956 J Quarter in GREENWICH Volume 05C Page 494

    His burial is on deceased online. Died 19 Jun 1956, Buried/Cremated 27 Jun 1956. Southwark

    1939 register at 25 Haddo Street, Greenwich:

    John G CAMERON born 1 Jul 1872 Male Nurse. Married
    Elizabeth CAMERON 24 Jun 1879 Catering Cook. Married

    Elizabeth's name has later been altered to McDonell and there is a note "D in name McDonnell" (D presumably means Died)

    John's DoB fits the birth registration in Neath, and his occupation also matches the 1911 census and the children's baptisms. Its unclear whether he ever really was a publican, but his son of the same name was, and so was Septima.

    Just to add to the above, Septima also had a son named John Gilroy Phillips/Cameron born 1905 who married Annie Esther Doyle in July 1929 so the later references will be him.

    I suspect that John Gilroy Phillips/Cameron Sr had left the family by the time of Hubert James's marriage

    I had thought that John Gilroy was a bit of a womaniser, so I'm pleased you were able to clarify that, Jomot1.

    Doing the maths, even the John Gilroy with Septima in 1929 could be John junior as by then he'd be 24 and able to vote.
    Death registration John junior, John Gilroye (sic) Phillips, date of birth 6 November 1905, Islington registration district September quarter 1977. Left a will but the Probate Calender doesn't say to whom probate was granted.

    I completely forgot to say earlier
    for picking up on Septima's signature on Hubert's marriage certificate. That was the crucial link. Even if you did have to go meandering to find it.
