Further Information on the  Tonypandy Riots 1910, not much appears to be said to inform us more of Coal Owner D.A. Thomas, or of the trial and imprisonment of 'Rioters', most from Gilfach Goch where my Dad and the Griffiths side of the Family were born and bred. What with on my Mam's side being Merthyr Tudful born and bred, did I ever stand a chance of being anything but a 'Rebel?' I shall have to get down to some family history, meanwhile see links below:
