John Lloyd Born Parish of Nenagh Circa 1834

hello

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

Regards

Unfortunately the conversation didn't go that far and I suspect she was referring to the wealthy landowners Lloyds.  Wexflyer identified a Lloydsborough and no doubt descendants of the family had been doing some prospecting.  All I wanted was to find out something of my forebears.

There is a record for who I think is him in the Length of Service Pensions, Admission Books on fold3. Is 137 Radcliffe St., Liverpool an associated address? If so, pm me an email address and i will send you what there is.

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.

Don't forget that Oliver Cromwell raised an army, and many soldiers were from Wales, to come to this part of Ireland and soldiers who remained were rewarded with land.  My Williams forebears from Nenagh harken back to a Welsh soldier in Cromwell's army, apparently.

Thanks Shanreagh that is very interesting.  I understand the double L in Lloyd suggests that family name is Welsh.

Yes that is my understanding as well.

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.
