Hi Phil In the 1841 census, "my" William Phillips was in Giants Grave, Briton Ferry, aged 30 with children William, Ann, Elizabeth and John and a servant Margaret Edwards. In 1851 these have been joined by a wife Margaret, Catherine, Margaret junior (my great grandmother) and Phillip. As Margaret junior's mother had the maiden name Edwards, she is probably the servant of 1841 and William's second wife. In 1861, William's son John is described as Pilot Prentice (sic). I've not yet investigated this branch any further. On the same census page of 1841 as William Phillips, are the following other pilots: Charles Williams (25), William Williams (85), William Williams (35), Lewis Williams (40). On the same census page of 1841 as "my" Lewis Reynolds senior who is described as a hobbler, are the following other pilots: William Phillips (35) Thomas Emmanuel (25) On the same census page of 1861 as "my" Lewis Reynolds senior (spelt as Reynallt) now described as a pilot, is the following other pilot: John Evans (45), living next door.
