There is this one on the 1891 and 1901 Wales census, but can't find those 2 sons...

Name: Mesach Phillips
Spouse: Mary A
Birth: abt 1842 - Rhosllannerchrugog, Denbighshire, Wales
Residence: 1891 - Rhosllannerchrugog, Ruabon, Denbighshire, Wales

Any idea on locations?

what was mothers name? cant see a marriage of a MESACH phillips anywhere

JOHN STANLEY WAS BORN 1892 AND HIS BROTHER ARTHUR WAS BORN 1884 I THINK THESE ARE CORRECT

Got any dates to go with those names?
