Lloyd London Mystery

[MonicaL]

Some light reading:

www.london-gazette.co.uk/issues/16517/pages/1696 - mention here of a Benjamin Lloyd, top of second column.

www.london-gazette.co.uk/issues/18261/pages/1576  - first entry on the second column.

www.london-gazette.co.uk/issues/19618/pages/1148 - on the second column, under John Herman Merivale, Commisioner (look who the Commissioner is above - our old fried Joshua Evan who JBL kept busy!)

    
http://www.rootschat.com/links/09d3/ - Marriage entry from Google Books for Joseph and Sophia

Bound to be lots more given the gene pool 

Still no closer to details on JBL's father though....as yet!

well I've found 10 children for Joseph and Sophia, and made them a family tree.
Norwood cemetery is full of thier children/grandchildren !!

the mention of Benjamin in the same article about Joseph is exciting, maybe they are family ?

[fallingonabruise]

possible clue to JBL family !
On the met police thread barnabyp has kindly found me JBL in the joiners ledger, so he did actually join the police in 1836 for 40 days.
in the bit for who recommended them and thier address it says '
'B.Gray esq, Rec.Geu.Off. W.Fairclough esq, Customs'

whats rec geu off ?
is W.Fairclough family ? as he named 2 of his children 'fairclough'
hmmmmmmm

  Can't see anything for a W Fairclough, Customs on early censuses - assuming William?

Monica

[fallingonabruise]

I wonder if he met Lavinia through W.Fairclough ? as her dad was involved in Customs?

[MonicaL]

Could well have done. Have you had any luck on censuses for him? Re the use of the name Fairclough for JBL and Lavinia's children, maybe down to a close friendship with our Mr W Fairclough?

All guesses!

Have'nt done anything yet, lol, did a sleep over at work last night and out sorting the chucks this morn 
so far theres this 'fairclough' thing
first child with Eliza, called John Fairclough Lloyd 1830
son of JLloyd , Norwood , william Fairclough Lloyd 1824
 reference by W. Fairclough 1836
JBL + Lavinias son , Grenville Fairclough Lloyd 1852'
must be an important name as he's used it twice?
could fairclough be his step father? as mother living with stepfather in 1825.
Benjamin lloyd, JBL's father could his  mother be a Fairclough ?as that would fit in with Joseph Lloyd being Ben's Brother.
Fairclough can't be his grandfather the magistrate ?

oh and just found WF.Lloyd death record and it say father Joseph L Lloyd

Hurray, we were on the right track! The connection we needed between the 1807 christening and the 1819 one in Liverpool. Any mention of sponsors on the Liverpool entry?
