I am looking for the birth of my great grandfather Edwin LLOYD. He was born 1831-2 in
Wrexham, according to the 1861 & 1881 censuses. His father was Walter or Joseph, a
solicitor.
Edwin was married twice, first to Elizabeth WHITE on 12th April 1857, in Manchester. This
marriage certificate gives his father as Joseph LLOYD, a lawyer.
In 1861 he was a widower, living with his in-laws in Manchester.
He married my great grandmother Julia IVES on 4th August 1866 in Shipley. This marriage
certificate gives his father as Walter LLOYD, a solicitor. Edwin & Julia went on to
have 5 children: George, Walter, Fred, Florence & Emily (George was Julia's
father's name, so there is every chance that Walter was Edwin's father's
name.).
He died on 13th September 1888 at Stalybridge, aged 57
Although his father's name is inconsistent, the occupation is not, and I am certain it
is the same Edwin Lloyd. I cannot find Edwin or a father in the censuses of 1841 or 1851,
and IGI is no help.
Hope some-one may be able to help.
