Tipperary / Re: John Lloyd Born Parish of Nenagh Circa 1834

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

hello

Gosh, what an unhelpful lady you spoke to.  Was she Caretaker for the cemetery?

Regards
Unfortunately 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.

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.

When I went to Nenagh and paid a considerable sum for the local genealogical centre to do some research for me.  They gave me a list of the Lloyds from Killea.  Apparently they were very wealthy landowners so not related to my family who ended up living in Toxteth Park in Liverpool in the early days.  I went to Killea to view the cemetery and asked a local for directions.  She responded by asking me who I was looking for and she prompted to tell me that a number of people had recently been looking for the Lloyd family.  She said, "I will tell you what I told them, you'll be getting nothing out of us".  On that note I wandered over to the Church and found the cemetery with a number of Lloyds buried there.  It would have been over 10 years ago at least so that shows you how long I have been looking. 

Thanks again everybody, especially Wexyflyer.

Thanks Wexflyer and Kiltaglassan really appreciate all your work.  I am so pleased to be able to fill in the pieces of the puzzle.

Best wishes

Sorry yes I gather it's a town.  Would the houses still be standing from so long ago?

Wow a large family indeed.  I think all leads are worth following even if improbable.  Thank you
