Hello Rootschatters
I'm trying to find out more about the precise year/ date/ any other interesting details of the birth of my maternal great great grandfather John Titus Lloyd. He was born around 1816 in Chester, Cheshire, according to the census records. His father seems to be Thomas Charles Lloyd (according to John's marriage certificate in 1837 to my GG Grandmother Caroline Augusta Marshall), and Thomas Charles was a silversmith by profession. I think John Titus Lloyd's mother is Ann Titus (hence his amazing middle name). Ann Titus and Thomas Charles Lloyd were married in 1810 in Southwark (I think) and seem to have had two other sons, Thomas Charles Lloyd (c. 1812 Islington) and Alfred Charles Lloyd (c. 1822 Middlesex). I am interested to know why John Titus Lloyd was born in Chester.... when the rest of the family is doing everything in Middlesex. John Titus spent his life in Clerkenwell as far as I can see! I know lots about his life (from the census, his marriage and death certificates). He was a master shoemaker by trade and died in 1865, but his early life is still very vague. Any insight would be greatly appreciated for example, details of the record of his birth/ christening.
Many thanks in advance. I haven't asked for a 'look up' before and I'm not sure if this is the right sort of information. Apologies if not.
