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.
