Family and childhood: His father, William George, came from a rather wealthy family of farmers from the Wales. As he became a teacher, a moved to Manchester where he married Miss George, with whom he had two children. David was the elder one. As David was still a young boy, the family moved back to the Welsh contryside to take care of the farm. William George died from pneumonia when David was only three. His mother couldn't carry the farm alone, so she asked her brother for help. David grew up in the countryside with his mother, uncle and brother. He was a brilliant child at school and showed up pretty early interest for politics. He visited the House of Commons when he was 17, and claimed that he was "very much desappointed with them". As he was still a schoolboy at the Welsh contryside, he led a micro-revolution against the Anglican headteacher. He was already self-confident and had independentist ideas. He became advocate as he was 21, and became early very popular in the Welsh contryside because of his virulence and his strong personality. In 1888, he married Maggie Owen.
