Is Mrs Phillips (Mrs Bennet's sister) a widow? Because there doesn't seem to be any mention of her husband.

No, she is not a widow. Mr. Phillips is Mr. Bennet's clerk. u can go here:

Mrs. Phillips was one of the Miss Gardiners (one of Mrs. Bennet's two sisters)then she married Mr. Phillips. There is no noting of her husband being dead in the book, so I am assuming he is never really mentioned, of only mentioned once of twice.

no,actually mr.phillips is the one who introduces lydia and katy to the army men
