BBC's Who Do You Think You Are? for Jack and Michael Whitehall here shows a memorial plaque for Philips installed at St Woolos Cathedral which clearly shows Philips date of death as 30 September 1843. The death was also reported in the Monmouthshire Merlin. The programme also claims he was buried there. So I think the current source for the date (and place) in the article here must be wrong.

There seems to be some confusion/ overlap between Thomas Jones Phillips (who was married to Mary Ann, died 11 January 1850) and the Thomas Phillips described at DNB here. Not quite sure how to resolve this. I have commented out material taken from the DNB for now. Not sure who the image is of. Martinevans123 ( talk) 22:22, 5 August 2019 (UTC)
Looking at Mayor of Newport, we find "Newport City Council provide a list of past mayors of Newport on their website, with records beginning in 1314" here. Notice that, in 1822, there was a Mayor named "Thomas Jones Phillips". Surely not the same man? Our Newport Rising Mayor is listed, as expected in 1838, as "Sir Thomas Phillips". If he had been born in 1788, he would have been only aged 34 in 1822. A bit young for a Mayor? Martinevans123 ( talk) 17:13, 6 August 2019 (UTC)
It seems likely that the image of Mary Ann Phillips: here is of the wife of Thomas Jones Phillips, who was Mayor in 1822, who apparently died on 30 September 1843 and who has a memorial plaque in St Woolos' Cathedral. Sir Thomas Phillips never married. So I'd suggest it should be removed. Martinevans123 ( talk) 18:39, 8 August 2019 (UTC)
Interesting @ Martinevans123:, I took that Mary Anne was the wife from the BBC program that used the church memorial in the "Who Do You Think You Are" programme. Not a reliable source or do we know that the program was wrong? Victuallers ( talk) 08:37, 11 August 2019 (UTC)
