Thomas's marriage to Baroness Frederica Hildprant (of Battera and Slabez, in the Kingdom of Bohemia ), on 13 April 1846 in Tooting, Surrey, was announced in The Economist. His wife died the following year, and in September 1848 he bought the Schloss Hard estate at Ermatingen from Lady Mina Lindsay following the death of her husband General Thomas Lindsay. A man of considerable wealth, he also bought Castle Wolfsberg, and in the 1860s built Castle Müllberg (municipality of Raperswilen). His father, Rees Goring Thomas, of Carmarthen, owned slave plantations in Jamaica, and was until 1837 a partner in the bank Sir James Esdaile & Co.
