Thank you for the photo.
Since I posted this request, I have found a Mealor descendent in Aus. and more possible eveidence that James Mealor married the "Right" Mary Miller Rees in 1880.
My notes show me that her brother David Lee Rees (31)was the head teacher of Lanfyn(y)dd School in 1881 Census, and that his mother Martha and niece Amy Seddon were there as well.
It looks like Gwern Hefrig, Hope may be close by. Do you know where that farm was?
It would seem that David died young in 1885
Regards.

Information from book Neston 1840-1940 published by the Burton and South Wirral local history society (copies quite often pop up on ebay)
Samuel mealor and his wife Margaret both born in willaston but had moved to ness by 1851 (methodist family).Their eldest surviving son Joseph was born in ness in 1852 but does not show on the local 1871 census was presumed to be apprenticed away from home as he is shown in the 1881 census as a blacksmith.Joseph started the plough company and filed many patents for plough designs(there was a blacksmiths as part of the plough business).By 1935 the proprietors were joseph mealor (snr) and his son john j mealor.
The premises won't be there much longer as planning permission was granted for the building of houses on the yard but the original building will be incorperated in the design
