The following Keight births had a mother’s maiden name of Phillips from 1911 to 1939:

Last name  First name(s)  Year Of Birth  Location
Keight     Violet R       1913           Bedwellty, Monmouthshire, Wales
Keight     May            1921           Bedwellty, Monmouthshire, Wales
Keight     Elvis R        1922           Bedwellty, Monmouthshire, Wales
Keight     Moyna P        1924           Bedwellty, Monmouthshire, Wales

I think they are all his and Violet’s children.

In 1939 Elvis R, born 31 May 1922, was living with her uncle John K Keight in Cannock, Staffs and looking for work.  This confirms that the above children were related to the Samuel Edward Keight who was born in Cannock.
