What an interesting thread!!

I'm a Lloyd (by marriage) and just starting out on my husband's family tree.  His grandmother gave all her 5 children her own name of Lloyd (simply because they all had different fathers!!! My father in law had a Malaysian father, but that's another story!!!).  So far, I haven't got any further back because I need to order grandma's birth certificate.  Verbal family history says that she came from Wales, so hopefully I will prove that. 

Wouldn't it be great if she was descended from your lot?!!!!

Just a final bit of interest, I was searching the internet about Dolobran and found this:

Hi...very cool...it's a small world huh? You/your hubby could very well be of the same tree as us if your grandmother comes from Wales

thank you for that link, I'll check it out for sure

I got some family stuff from my brother (the geneologist) so if you find names from your past feel free to share them or send me a private message and I can look at what my brother gave me and see if we have the same commonality.

Gotta run for now...TTYS

I come from the John Lloyd/Rebecca Ball line, but I was never able to get past John.  I was able to find a marriage record for the two of them in NJ in 1675, but never able to find his lineage.  My dad and I spent hours together trying to track him down, but never had any luck.  He passed away four years ago, and I lost all passion for the search.  I was bored today and decided to search on Benijah Lloyd (he was our favorite), so imagine my joy when I found this string!  My dad would be thrilled.  I would like to research further for him, so any help that can be given would be greatly appreciated.  Does anyone have any additional information on John?

My older brother is the family geneologist and has tons and tons of info but i'll dig up what I have and see if that may help you. Give me a few days...recently back to normal, whatever that is, and have some catching up to do in many areas but I will find what I have, promise

I know this is an old posting and is concerned primarily with the Lloyd Family, but I am interested mostly in the building itself.  I recently found a burial record for my GGG granddad died 1875.  it reads: "John Evans of Dolobran, turnpike porter, who was buried on the 22/4/1875 aged 79."

Burial ground is Pontrobert which is less than a mile from Dolobran Hall.

Does anyone know whether the building ever had any status as a turnpike toll house?

Many thanks

I made up a tree some time ago which shows some of the Lloyds of Dolobran and their Quaker links. It also has Rowland Ellis of Bryn Mawr who gave that name to Bryn Mawr of Pennsylvania.

I will try and add a copy of the tree to this message.

Hi

I was wondering if any males with direct male Lloyd ancestry (Y-DNA unbroken line) had had a Y-DNA test done?
