Looking for Loyd's from Staffordshire... born in Bilston both forge men/ iron workers and ended up in Kidsgrove and Goldenhill. John 1818 from Moorcroft, Bilston and Edward 1823 Bilston.. Think Father may be William 1796 and his wife Mary. Also Jane and Harriet possible daughters of William. Darlaston and Willenhall mentioned in Bmd/ census I have looked at. I don't know the area so any help appreciated,  Nel

Many thanks.... I noticed how many Loyd's in the area there were. But thank you for untangling it and confirming things cheers Nel

Have been looking at Susanna Brain... Likely a relative, have tried looking for her as Mary's mother or Williams mother but remarried. No hit's at all. On 1851 census both Mary and William state N.K Salop and later on 1861 census Mary is a widow and states ludlow as place of birth... Have looked at Shropshire but without any luck..... any ideas??

[maddys52]

Cant' really help with Susannah BRAIN, however just to note that there is also this possible marriage (in addition to those found by ciderdrinker) for William LLOYD to Mary BULLOCK - 09 Nov 1812 at All Saints West Bromwich (both otp). Witnesses are Richard BULLOCK and Sarah HOLLAND - all sign by mark.

I don't have access to the original image of the 1841 census - I wonder if BRAIN is a correct transcription? (Can't easily see a death for her?)
