Lloyd London Mystery

[fallingonabruise]

thats all there is,
weird how it says date of birth 22 dec, as that is the date of his baptism in 1807, maybe he was baptised on the day he was born ?

so Benjamin, what sort of merchant was he? could link in with Joseph Lloyd corn merchant ?

Benjamin had died and Elizabeth remarried by 1824 so where to find directories from 1819 to 1823 ?

  Here's a thought to ponder on.....

We have Benjamin Lloyd marrying Eliza Collins on 06 MAY 1802 at St Michael, Worcester. Then JBL being christened also at St Clement, Worcester on 22 DEC 1807.

We then jump to Liverpool and have JBL's second christening at 31 May 1819 Christ Church, Hunter Street, Liverpool.

What if father Benjamin had died some time before and Eliza Collins/Lloyd's second marriage was this one;

Elizabeth Lloyd and William Fairclough marriage on 10 May 1819 at Christ Church, Hunter Street, Liverpool.

From www.lan-opc.org.uk/Search/indexp.html

William Fairclough - Clerk in Customs of Liverpool...is this our earlier Customs ref  
Elizabeth Lloyd - Widow of the same Parish
    Witness: Mary Steel; Geo. Cruickshank
    Married by Licence by: T Kidd Off. Minister
    Register: Marriages 1811 - 1825 from the Bishop's Transcripts, Page 68, Entry 203

I like this marriage!

[fallingonabruise]

that just fits perfectly !!
I wonder if she had anymore children ?

[MonicaL]

I can't see anything on the Lancashire site, but we had a ref (feels like a life time ago in the earlier days!) of JBL's mother and second husband in XXX Square in London by mid 1820s, I think!

1825, nelson square

[MonicaL]

That's the one!

Added: thinking about ages etc. If Eliza married first in 1802 by 1819 she may have been close to or past being able to have children perhaps?

[fallingonabruise]

good point, what about between 1802 and 1807, surely there must be more than just JBL?
no sign of Elizabeth in 1841 census ?
