Mrs. Mary Dulcibella Thomas (née Eden) (1834 – 1909) with her second daughter Miss Dulcibel Thomas (1872-1951) outside the drawing room window at Glanmor House, Sketty, Swansea. (The Edens were trusted managers at Vivian and Sons Ltd. The site of Glanmor House is now Long Oaks Court near Myrtle Grove and Glanmor Park Road.) Mrs. Thomas was the second wife of Illtid Thomas (1812 – 89) and Isabel, their eldest daughter, was the first of their children to get married.

The total percentage dividend payable on ordinary share capital (as compiled in Table 2 of Peter Jackson’s book [4, p. 245]) is plotted in blue for each financial year. No dividend was paid in 1903 and 1904 to allow profits to be re-invested in new plant, which repaid handsomely over the next few years. In contrast, after 1920 profits dwindled and there are no records of dividend payments after 1925.
Frank’s increasing involvement with establishing the University College of Swansea is indicated below the time axis from 1916 onwards, with his two periods as President after the Foundation on 19th July 1920 shown by the solid red line.
