Find Ancestors

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

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.

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 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.

Are you aware that Eustace Cecil Strange and Violet Gwynedd Lloyd, who married in 1921, were the maternal grandparents of a very famous English actress, Emma Chambers, whose ancestry I am researching for my online blog, Reach For The Stars & Their Family Trees? Emma appeared in the film Notting Hill with Julia Roberts and Hugh Grant and also featured in the TV sitcom The Vicar of Dibley, with Dawn French. She starred as Alice Tinker, the somewhat dim but loveable verger who never understood Dawn French's jokes at the end of the programme!

Emma's mother, Noelle G Strange, is the daughter of Eustace Cecil Strange and Violet G Lloyd, and was born in 1925 in the registration district of South Stoneham, Hampshire. She married John S W Chambers in 1950 in the New Forest RD and Emma was born at Doncaster, Yorkshire, in 1964.

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
