Hello - I am trying to work out the connection between a Lloyd family from Shrewsbury and the above family.
I have a will of an Edward Lloyd of Shrewsbury d 1790 - amongst the beneficiaries are:
Cousin Charles Morrall of Chester surgeon
Sisters of Charles - Susan and Frances
Cousin Thomas Morhall - mercer of London
William son of Charles (god son of Edward Lloyd above).
I think that these are the Morrall family of Plas Yolyn and Kilhendre with Charles, Susan, Frances and Thomas being the children of William and Morrall and Susanna Bee. In order for the above Edward Lloyd and Charles Morrall to be cousins there has to be a marriage between my Lloyds and the Morrall family.
According to Burke's 'History of The Commoners of Great Britain and Ireland' Tobias married Margaret Lloyd, sister of Sir Edward Lloyd of Pengwern. I was wondering whether this Margaret Lloyd could have been misidentified. More likely there could be another connection altogether.
I am reasonably sure that I can identify the father, gfather and ggfather of the above Edward Lloyd and many of the family. There is an indication that there was a Margaret Lloyd b abt 1728 (IGI Member record only), cousin of the above Edward.
Can anyone throw some light on this matter.
