Trying to find Lloyd

I am trying to find about a WILLIAM GRIFFITH LLOYD born 1866 in Darlington but later moved to Southampton, Bath, Leamington Spa, Wakefield, Liverpool (he was involved in the Colliery/Mines business we think for the Earl of Warwick). He married a Kate Crew in 1896 and had one daughter Violet Gwynedd who became Violet Gwynedd Strange having married Eustace Strange in 1921. Oddly enough around 1896 William changed his name to WILFRED. From around 1902 he goes off the radar; word was that he went to Maidstone Prison at some point but no-one seems to know anything further and where and when he died. He had 6 brothers and sisters: Margaret 1868, Lloyd 1872, Harry 1875, Julia 1877, Richard 1880, Edmund 1885. Edmund was the organist at Romsey Abbey. Looking for info on any of the above and their descendants especially Wilfred. Chris |

I am a professional genealogist in Hertfordshire UK and I too am interested in tracing William Griffith Lloyd who, as you say, became Wilfred. I wondered if you had got any further since posting your initial message? I am having a problem finding him as well after 1891 apart from his marriage to Kate Crew in 1896. |

As a professonal genealogist you should realize that you can't expect an answer from a post that is more than 7 years old. You could click on Christopher's name and send a personal message and if his email hasn't changed he will receive notification from GR. |

I'm NOT a professional genealogist Roy, but I had no problem finding "Wilfred" Griffith Lloyd after 1891 - he's clearly on the 1901 census. |

Maybe you should post that 1901 census, MC, an then send the bill to the "professional genealogist". |

As a professional you should not be expecting to get free help from people who pay for the census info they find |

Also he enlisted for WW1 in 1915, Winnipeg, Canada. His wife Kate was in Southampton, England. |

Whatever anyone on here finds cannot be passed to a professional |

The info I posted re: his enlistment was not from FMP or Ancestry nor any other pay-to-view site. It was free. |

Goodness me Roy , I am truly amazed having read the blog you thoughtfully mentioned, that despite your qualifications and experience the helpers here have managed to find what you have missed. |

Maybe Roy thinks he is posting direct to Christopher and not on an open board for everyone to see ?? |

Looking at some of Roy's very many blogs I think he's well versed in forums ;-) |

Looks as though I had better advise Roy on how to return to this thread! |

Thank you all, despite the somewhat rude and arrogant comments. In fact I did find Wilfred in the 1901 census but as he was living in Bath and described as a colliery agent I initially had my doubts. There weren't many coal mines in Bath, as far as I am aware! I haven't found him in 1911. |

It IS a place for amateurs Roy, but the combined wealth of experience is pretty phenomenal ( several heads being better than one as it were) and they all give the benefit of that experience free. |

I have not yet found any evidence that William (or Wilfred) Griffith Lloyd went to prison, and I have looked at several sources including the British Newspaper Archive, so I don't know where that story came from, which is why I was trying to contact Christopher, whoever he is. |

Roy, I don't believe any one has suggested, or is particularly interested whether of not you get paid to research celebrities, it's not really relevant to the search you are making now, and since some of us do have actors in the family ( who are working people not necessarily "celebrities" or fond of publicity in their private lives) then as I say your celebrity blog is an irrelevance here. |

Since in an earlier post I said that I was a simple housewife one could deduce from that that I am a she not a he. |
