Note that the 2 girls births were registered in Birmingham.

It is quite possible that she spent time in the Birmingham Workhouse as both her parents had passed away.

If it is more convenient for you Christine, you can order certificates online from the GRO........

Certificates cost £9.25

There is only one Phillips/ Earp birth in Bromsgrove after the marriage date
that's Alice in 1920

Clara who is on the 1911 died the same year
Deaths Dec 1911 (>99%)
Phillips Clara 0 Bromsgrove 6c 359

which would account for there being 3 sisters.

Hi
I am researching my Great grandmother who was name Ada Earp, she married Albert Phillips in 1915 in Bromsgrove, Worcestershire.
Ada as I've been told was in a workhouse in Birmingham as a young girl and later met Mr.Phillips and went on to live in Bromsgrove later having 3 daughters..

I really want to find out as much as possible about her life, If you can help I would be very grateful.
Christine.. :-)
