Thanks Shanreagh that is very interesting. I understand the double L in Lloyd suggests that family name is Welsh.

helloUnfortunately the conversation didn't go that far and I suspect she was referring to the wealthy landowners Lloyds. Wexflyer identified a Lloydsborough and no doubt descendants of the family had been doing some prospecting. All I wanted was to find out something of my forebears.
Gosh, what an unhelpful lady you spoke to. Was she Caretaker for the cemetery?
Regards
There is even a Lloydsborough townland in the parish of Templemore!
Lewis' directory of 1837 lists the principal landowners in the locality at the time:
Lloydsborough is the seat of J. Lloyd, Esq.; part of the demesne is in Killea, though the mansion is in the parish of Templemore; it is a handsome residence in a well-planted demesne.
I think we can safely conclude that Lloyd was an established name in the vicinity for some considerable time.
