Sandra thank you so much! I didn't expect someone to do all the work for me! Thanks for your PM. Thomas is probably Melvilles Uncle. You have also given me a steer on a letter I have from David T Davies. I didn't know how he fitted into the family before! Absolute star! ;D ;D

Not sure if anybody is still watching this post, but i just found it while searching my grandfather's name Melville Thomas. Last time i attempt to track the Thomas name i didn't have much luck past the names i already knew such as Sarah Olivia Davies, William Ewart Thomas (whose diplomas I have hanging on my wall from the london College of Violinists from 1914 and 1919). I do not have any of my records in front of me at the moment, but would love for any relatives to contact me to exchange information.
