Thomas was born in Kensington in 1857. In 1881, he was a carpenter living with his widowed mother, carpenter brother, and dressmaker sister at their workshop at 8 Russell Gardens Mews, Kensington. He married Frances Hunt, and in 1901 they were living at 76 Netherwood Road, Hammersmith with their children and his mother and his unmarried sister Elizabeth.

This signature was on a fragment of brown wrapping-paper in the possession of Thomas's grandson Stephen Dungate. Assuming it was addressed to Stephen, it can only have been from Thomas, as his other grandfather died before 1901.
