Cheshire / John Lloyd - Clockmaker of Nantwich
« on: Sunday 03 December 23 10:26 GMT (UK) »
Hi,
John was my 5th Gt Grandfather and if possible am trying to find out more about his parents.
If you google his name and occupation it refers to Nantwich Clockmakers (particularly Kitchen and Lloyd) showing John's dates as 1761-1804.
However John married in 1765 (Cheshire Parish Database Records) to Elizabeth Turner (both shown as residents of Nantwich Parish) so the birth date of 1761 must be incorrect. Elizabeth was born 1739 in nearby Wybunbury. His death in 1804 (same database) shows does not show his age unfortunately.
I expect that he was born c1740 but would appreciate any thoughts?
John and Elizabeth had at least 7 children between 1767 and 1783 - John, Samuel, Ann, Catherine, James. Joseph, and Thomas.
Thanks for looking.
Alan
