Thank you ciderdrinker, I sincerely appreciate all your help.

I wish I lived in England so I could do some research in person lol. It appears a lot of the records are still not online.

Anyway, I've sent off a couple of emails, so we'll see how that goes. Regardless, I've found out a lot more on this family in the last few days thanks to people like yourself on this wonderful site.

May I just ask where you got the information that John was a glove manufacturer? There is an article in the London Morning Herald (21 Oct 1817) which mentions a 'John Lloyd of No. 5 Charles Street, Queen's Elms' but his occupation is given as 'plumber.' No other details provided; he was a witness in a court case.

Just noticed John Lloyd's wife, Charlotte, has her place of abode on the burial register as Charles Street, Queens Elm in 1837.

Seems John Lloyd may have indeed been a plumber in 1817 before he became a glover...

If I'm not pushing my luck, can anyone help me with his parents?? I'm curious why one of his daughters is called Alice Eliza Woof Lloyd. Could this be a reference to a maternal ancestor? Another daughter was Caroline Chipps Lloyd (her mother's maiden name).

Thank you mckha489!

Henry and John Lloyd were brothers. Both ended up leaving London for Victoria, Australia - Henry to Geelong and John to Melbourne.

I'll have to look into The National Archives website - I haven't delved into that one yet.

Have you access to the newspapers.

However a follow up piece ... Has Henry Lloyd (the chairman) as Henry junior.

So is there another Henry Lloyd a glove manufacturer?

Thank you - I was able to access both articles.

All the references I have found for a Henry Lloyd, glover - link to my 3g grandfather, but it's certainly possible.

I tried looking up his address 2 Carlton Place, and found this reference to him being a Wholesale London Agent so I'm even more confused now.

Just bumping up my original query to see if anyone can help me with my Lloyd family.

In particular I am trying to find anything about their glove manufacturing business but I don't know where to start.

John Lloyd (my 4th g grandfather) married Charlotte Hetty Chipps (1768-1837) 12 Feb 1793 St Dunstan's in the West. In 1841 he was living in Charles Street. The 1846 burial index had him residing at 5 Charles Street. Both buried at St Luke's Church, Chelsea. He was a glove manufacturer. I have not been able to determine his birth date or parents.

His son was Henry Lloyd who married Caroline Jane Bessell  - info in previous posts.

They had a brother John Lloyd (1808-1889) who was a hosier. I have found a reference to him going bankrupt, before he also came out to Victoria, Australia in 1853.

If anyone can help me find John Lloyd's birth/parents or anything on the glove manufacturing business, I would be most grateful. TIA.
