Richard Glyn(ne) Lloyd Kent

[yffor]

I am looking for any information on Richard Glyn Lloyd born in December 1889. His parents were Richard Alfred and Mary Margaret (nee Thomson) Lloyd. He had two sisters Gwendoline and Blodwen. He was a teacher Barnsole Road Council School Gillingham Kent in 1920.
I think he passed away Chatham Kent in 1968.
Can anyone help please.

Hi JJ,

They are not familiar but very useful names if it is the correct person. I am actually trying to trace Richard Glyn's father, Richard Alfred. According to Censuses he was born in Wales, but unfortunately he has been impossible to find prior to 1881 census (he was born around 1851).

I am now trying to find his descendants to see whether I can make any headway through that avenue.

Thanks.

1891 Richard A Lloyd's occupation is Managing Leicester Trading Bros, and he is b Aberech, Caernarvonshire. There is a daughter Blodwen b c1888

I was a little dubious of that occupation,  but searching a newspaper archive I found an item in  Y Genedl Cymreig  of Thursday, January 29, 1880 referring to the North Wales Express publishing the first in a series of articles called "Reminiscences of a Welsh detective in London" by Richard ALfred Lloyd (Cystenyn), formerly of Caernarfon

Thanks Mabel Bagshawe,

I am familiar with Richard Alfred Lloyd after 1881. If you read my reply to JJ you will see that I am looking for Richard Alfred Lloyd prior to 1881.

DETECTIVE LLOYD.—Mr Richard Alfred Lloyd, who distinguished himself so much in connection with the Liverpool mystery, paid a visit to this town last week. He was for some years connected with the police force of this county, and was once on the post office staff. He is a bard of no mean pretensions, having been a pupil of the late Cyn-ddelw. For the past five years he has been in London as a detective, and is engaged by Government in important cases. He was returning from Rome when he accidentally read in the papers of Miss Edwards' case. He sent for a photograph, and the day after reoeiving it he found her. When it is borne in mind that the thousands of police and detectives in London had for weeks previously been following up this matter, it must redeund more to Mr Lloyd's credit.

And if you scroll down to the bottom of this item about "the Liverpool Mystery" you get an outline of R A Lloyd's early life
