Seeking Family of School Masters A Hickson & W. T. Phillips, Bala Grammar 1877

[wilcoxon]

I think it may be Hicksen , but there are very few around 
The e in the name and in master looks to be written in the same way.

A mystery man.

Hi...Yes I did wonder and have tried both combinations without success..the se in the word second is formed the same way as the se in Hicksen.....shame there is no Christian name 
Thanks for trying...maybe some researcher may google the surnames may be brought here.

No info found on William Thomas, there is a possible one with a widowed mother named Martha, in Newtown, but can`t be sure.
I suppose the marriage will gave fathers name.

His Flintshire Roll of Honour card in the Archives Office in Hawarden gives his regimental details and his address as Eaton Cottages in Leeswood. It says he served 1 year and 7 months and that he was wounded in action in France and died of the wounds he received. The card was signed by Gladys A Phillips on 16th Sept 1919.
