It was the “old un” as you quite rightly put it. I always found it a bit ironic, having bought their pies for so many years at Ninian Park as did many others, the family put their money into the other shaped ball in Cardiff.

The old un passed in 2015 aged 98.

The daughter was called Mary.

Seems like the more successful of the two sons is Sir Stanley Thomas who does a lot of work for charity

Didnt one relative die in a balcony fall at a nightclub, or did they own the club in which someone else died?

Stan is definitely not short - he's put £4m into Merthyr Rugby Club.

I don't understand why they never put money into Cardiff City

I heard that a daughter married ex Wales rugby international Pat Daniels. He sometimes comes down the City with a group of friends and sits close to me. Apparently they are all very wealthy.
