Lloyd London Mystery

JBL was certainly a busy man. Given the date, certainly points to that 1807 birth (with the question mark over that 1819 christening).

A few thoughts, sorry if  I can't explain properly, I'm rubbish at writing stuff !

I was wondering if Benjamin(father of the 1819 john) is JBL's older brother,
as JBL then names his first son Ben,

is 'Ballard' his mothers maiden name ?  (as quite a few of my rellies have done this)

theres a reference to a chief magistrate in Liverpool in 1853, JB.Lloyd.

I've seen this Benjamin (b. Rotherhithe) in my trips up and down the censuses  He shows as a baker by trade in later years.

Hi all

Sorry to be late to this topic.

To solve the problem of only seeing 2/3rds of the page, you need to make sure you have downloaded the enhanced viewer and tweak your pop-up blocker

Forgot to add that, for some images, you have you use the 'drag' hand icon found above the image on the left hand side. Not all the images have slider bars at the bottom or right hand side.
