Hi Couldn't help seeing your post when I was looking up my relative Billy Thomas. I believe he was my Dad's Uncle. He had a brother Tom and they were from Deri.
My Dad always told me about him being the last Welshman to beat Tommy farr and that he beat the Australian champion. Has to be the same man. I can remember going to croesfan Terrace to see an Auntie Betty (long time ago). I think it might have been an uncle Glanmor's wife.
My Dad's father was Emlyn Thomas though he seperated from my Nan just after the war. It sounds like we may be cousins!
