Will send pm for possible daughter's birth, as she may be alive.

She might be named ( possibly married) on her mother's death certificate or her Will.

Hello Girls....Could you help me with finding any family of Megan Loyd George who was Labour MP in 1957 as her family may be able to help me with info on Frances Louise Stevenson who was Executor of my friend Cliff's fathers Will.

Also help if possible with the daughter Jennifer ! (Stevenson) b1929 who's father could have been Loyd George...gets rather confusing. which surname did she have Stevenson or Loyd George.

Wendy R

Hello Gwen & Ann,
Thank you girls for all this information....my mind is actually going round & round trying to take it all in....I have been speaking to our friend today cliff Son of Harry Davey who had Frances Louise Stephenson as Ex to his will saying to me this is the right person he can remember his father talking about her....and different things that were mention and paying for his Education etc....I can't quite follow whats going on....or how this Frances was involved with Harry....I dont quite know how to follow this up from now. Harry Davey was a Captain of a Ship what name I dont know...but he had his Masters which I am going to download so perhaps that will tell me more.

Any help appreciated...

Lloyd George had a considerable reputation as a womaniser, which led to his being nicknamed "the Goat" (coined by Sir Robert Chalmers, Permanent Secretary to the Treasury from 1911).[34] Kitchener is said to have remarked early in World War One that he tried to avoid sharing military secrets with the Cabinet, as they would all tell their wives, apart from Lloyd George "who would tell someone else's wife"[35]. He remained married to Margaret, and remained fond of her until her death[36] on 20 January 1941; Lloyd George was deeply upset by the fact that bad weather prevented him from being with her when she died.

In October 1943, aged 80, and to the disapproval of his children, he married his secretary and mistress, Frances Stevenson. He had first met Stevenson in 1910, and she had worked for him first as a teacher for Megan in 1911;[37] their affair began in early 1913.[38] The first Countess Lloyd-George is now largely remembered for her diaries, which dealt with the great issues and statesmen of Lloyd George's heyday. A volume of Lloyd George's letters to her, "My Darling Pussy", has also been published; Lloyd George's nickname for Frances referred to her gentle personality.[39]

His second marriage caused severe tension between Lloyd George and his children by his first wife.[40] He had five children by his first wife — Richard (1889–1968), Mair (1890–1907, who died during an appendectomy), Olwen (1892–1990), Gwilym (1894–1967) and Megan (1902–1966) — and possibly one child by Stevenson,[41] a girl named Jennifer (born 1929).

His son, Gwilym, and daughter, Megan, both followed him into politics and were elected members of parliament. They were politically faithful to their father throughout his life but following their father's death each drifted away from the Liberal Party, Gwilym finishing his career as a Conservative Home Secretary while Megan became a Labour MP in 1957, perhaps symbolising the fate of much of the old Liberal Party.

Canadian historian Margaret MacMillan, who detailed Lloyd George's role in the 1919 peace conference in her book, Paris 1919, is his great-granddaughter. The British television presenter Dan Snow is his great-great-grandson, as is the Internet usability guru Bryn Williams. Other descendants include Owen, 3rd Earl Lloyd-George, who was his grandson, and his son Robert (the chairman of Lloyd George Management).[42]

The Dowager Countess Lloyd-George is listed in the 1946 phone book at both Avalon and Orchard end in Churt.



Gwyn

She is listed in Ancestry phone books for 1942 as
Miss. F.L.STEVENSON
Avalon, Old Barn Lane, Churt....and also at
Orchard end, Green Lane, Churt.

both with Hindhead phone numbers.

Not that it helps much, but at least we know she was probably single then.
