Hi, does anyone have details of the family of George Thomas? I also thought his name was TG Thomas, I would be grateful for any more information about Lord Tonypandy.

George Thomas was born in Tydraw Street, Taibach, Port Talbot and not in Tonypandy.

Thomas George Thomas should have been named Zachariah George Thomas. When a little boy he asked his mother why she'd named him Thomas George and when he'd had the answer he said "Oh Mam, I'm so glad you called me Thomas George". Zachariah was his father's name
