John Lloyd Born Parish of Nenagh Circa 1834

[BJC2020]

I am researching my great grandfather John Lloyd.  I have his service parchment indicating that he was born in Nenagh Parish near the town of Nenagh Tipperary.  His parchment is dated 19 December 1854 with his age at that time as 20.

I visited Nenagh and the genealogy centre there and found plenty of Lloyds but not my grandfather.  I understand a lot of the records have been lost or destroyed.  I did find a John Loyd born of William Loyd and Mary Whelan born 2 July 1834 I think or it could be the date he was baptised I am not sure.  It was in parish records of Templemore.  I cant verify if this is the same John Lloyd despite trying to cross reference information through DNA etc.   

He was Catholic

Any help appreciated.

I think you mean 1854, not 1954?

You left out a key point: his religion.
Catholic records are extant for Nenagh, Protestant not.

Thanks PJ unfortunately I am no longer a Facebook user following some issues I had years ago.

It looks as though the family were Catholic and Templemore and father William looks good too.

Thanks Heywood that is extremely helpful  and it does give credence to his father being William Lloyd.  I always associated the LL in Lloyd as being Welsh.

Here is the baptism you found - July 2nd 1834.

That's fantastic thank you.  Would Michael Hanlon and Catherine Gleeson be witnesses?
