John Lloyd Born Parish of Nenagh Circa 1834

[Wexflyer]

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.

One anomaly is that I can't find this Lloyd family in Griffith's Valuation, which was published in 1850 for Tipperary. No sign of them in either Templemore or Nenagh that I can see - yet they should be there, if John signed up there in 1854.

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

One feature of the town that is still there from the time of William and John is what was the military barracks, now the Garda Training College.

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

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.

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