Francis Graham LLOYD was mentioned as a friend, "of 58 Fleet Street" in the will of my ancestor, John Hammond GALBRAITH.
The will was executed in 1920 and J. H. Galbraith died in London in 1921.
I have found this 1890 item in 'The Sydney Morning Herald'....

Hello Carole & Ian,
Thank you both.
That certainly appears to be the correct family in the 1871 census. It also explains what I thought might be an Australian connection, with one child having been born there.
Recorded here as being an Australian merchant & Shipping Agent, B. S. Lloyd's company is reported in the 1890 newspaper item as being agent for 'The Sydney Morning Herald'. Another string to his bow, perhaps?
Can his death be found?
