It seems to have been the fate of almost all Welsh servicemen in units that
were predominantly English to have been called Taffy.
Edgar C.P. Lloyd birth registered September quarter 1919 in Swansea
registration district, mother's maiden name Prytherch.
Thomas A. Lloyd married Olwen Prytherch in Llanelly registration district,
December quarter 1915.
Edgar may have been the only child born to the couple, though a William G.
Lloyd birth was registered in Holyhead registration district in December
quarter 1915, mother's maiden name Prytherch.
Olwen Prytherch was born September quarter 1891 in Swansea registration
district. I think she died as Olwen LLOYD in March quarter 1958 in Swansea
district, age 64
There are a variety of possibilities for Thomas Arthur Lloyd, none born in
Swansea or Llanelly. My prime suspect would be the one born in Pembroke
district December quarter 1889, but I could be wrong.
In 1911 Olwen appears to have been in the household of Edgar Thomas
Prytherch, aged 40 and possible stepmother ( or father's sister) Sarah age
30, siblings Evelyn Mary 9, Morfydd 18, William E. 11 and John Hopkin, 8
months
Edgar Thomas Prytherch married in Dec qr 1889 either to Ann HOPKINS or
Letitia JONES.
He married again in September quarter 1909 in Swansea, presumably to Sarah
HOPKINS
Ann PRYTHERCH died March quarter 1908 age 41
Morfydd PRYTHERCH married Daniel A. JENKINS in June quarter 1920 in Llanelly
registration district.
In 1891 Edgar (20) and Ann PRYTHERCH (24) were at Trinity Street, Gorseinon,
in LlandiloTalybont parish. and he was a mechanic at a tinplate works. If
the girls married in nearby Loughor parish, that would have been in Llanelly
registration district but in Glamorgan.
That should give something to get started on. It might also be worth trying
the Glamorgan list.

Hello List
I am a new subscriber to this list.
I have in my possession, a photo of Edgar Charles Prytherch LLOYD who was
also known as Taffy. A pilot. He died with all crew in 1944 aged 25. He
was son of Arthur and Olwen LLOYD of Swansea and I think married Joan T
SENIOR of Sheffield in 1942. Service No. 1293920. I can't see any children
on BMD so maybe there were none. I was hoping to be able to pass on this
photo to any present day relative.
If anyone can help, please e mail me. He may have had siblings with
descendants who would like the photo.
Regards
Dawn
