Memorial Inscription -- Wells Cathedral
« on: Wednesday 01 February 17 22:08 GMT (UK) »
This is going to be a bit of a long shot, and I am doubtless being a bit cheeky; but I just wondered if there were any kind roots-chatters out there with links to this venerable institution who visit the place regularly and might be able to locate an MI that I know exists somewhere in there  ::) and tell me exactly what it says!  (Alternatively, is there a book that records all of the cathedral's MIs that is easily accessible?  I couldn't readily find anything online).

The MI concerned relates to:

DOROTHEA LLOYD born 3rd January 1809
                           daughter of Richard and Caroline
                           married John Hughes on 5th July 1832 in Llanferris, Wales.
                           died 27th January 1848

I am at a complete loss to know why she is commemorated here, as her family came from Wales and her husband's only known geographical links are with Scotland, Northampton area and London!  So I am hoping there might be some indication in the wording of the MI as to who paid for it and thus exactly who it is who has this link with Wells.

Very many thanks.

There is a book available if you google...Wells Cathedral: It's Monumental Inscriptions and Heraldry. I can't post a link as I am on the iPad.

Thanks, Carol/Treetotal! :-*

How on earth did I miss that?!  Anyway, it must be in there somewhere -- I will have an online rummage.

Regards.

You could ask at your library Annie to find out if it is available as a reference book.

Maybe someone researching the FRY family will already have this book.  I will check with my source and get back to you.

The book mentioned above is online here ...
https://archive.org/stream/wellscathedralit00jewerich#page/150/mode/2up/search/lloyd
(see p. 151 bottom right.)

ADDED - The relevant MI appears to be that of John Still, Bishop of Bath & Wells (p. 146). The Still pedigree on the following pages suggests that Dorothea Lloyd was connected through her husband John Hughes, who after Dorothea’s death remarried to a descendant of Bishop Still.

Thank you so much for locating it for me and providing a link, Bookbox.  I'm very grateful for your help.  sorry for not getting back to you to thank you before now, but I'm in Houston, so a different time zone.
