Hi Mary, I actually spoke with a young lady at the library in Hastings. She was kind enough to do a little research for me. She was unable to locate a record of his birth or of his family having lived in Hastings during the time period following his birth. She speculated that perhaps he left England under an assumed name and moved to Australia to escape trouble with the law or even a bad marriage. I know he was an educated man because he held a Mine Manager position in Australia. Additionally, he bought the rights to a mine so I assume he must have had some money from somewhere. Are you located in Australia or elsewhere?? Best Regards, Linda

Hi Mary,

That is very interesting. I think it might be wise for me to take a closer look this information and see if perhaps I can find records of him leaving the USA and then moving to Australia. I didn't think about the possibility of him stopping off in the US first.

My Mother has a cousin living in Adelaide (did I spell it correctly?). They were both born in Germany but I think lost contact after the war.

Hi Linda
My mother was Marjorie Cuthberta Lloyd who died in 1989 in Brisbane with the surname of Elliott.
Family mythology is that her middle name was cuthberta because she was the first white baby to be born at Mount Cuthbert.
I hope this fills out the picture a bit.

Thank you for responding to my message. I am assisting my friend, Eric Lloyd with his family tree. If you are Marjorie Cuthberta's child then you and Eric are cousins. I am trying to find out where Frederick G. was born. His AU death certificate says he was born in Hastings, Sussex, England, but a research of the records there does not show a Frederick G. Lloyd. Do you know if someone might have more information regarding his life in England. Also, I am trying to locate a photo of Frederick and his wife Alice Hewitt to attach to Eric's tree. I am looking forward to hearing from you again as you are the first Lloyd family member to response to my message. Thank you again, Linda

Hi Malcolm,

I am not related.
It appears as though George and Alice LLOYD, parted, before his death on 18 February 1942, as Marjorie's first marriage in 1937, describes her as the daughter of Mrs. A. LLOYD (no mention of the father, Frederick LLOYD).

Townsville Daily Bulletin, Friday 1 October 1937:

McLACHLAN— LLOYD.
A pretty wedding of Interest to friends in Townsville was celebrated at the Church of England, Gladstone, on Saturday, September 25, when Marjorie, the youngest daughter of Mrs. F. G. Lloyd, Philp-street, Hermit Park, Townsville, and Clive Nelson, the youngest son of Mrs. L. McLachlan, Campsie, Sydney, were married. The Rev. Burrows officiated, and Mr. M. Jansen, who presided at the organ, also sang 'Because' during the signing of the register. The bride, who was given away by Mr. J .Smith, wore a beautiful frock of white bridal satin showing a high neck-line and the front was finished with a row of tiny satin buttons from neck to hem, and worn with an over-dress of lace, cut in classical lines, the skirt of both forming into a long, sweeping train. Her veil, which was lent by Mrs. Hemstead, ...... Miss Lorna Lloyd, sister of the bride, attended as brides maid. ...


Death on 18 Feb 1942, of Frederick George LLOYD:

1942 C1242 Frederick George Lloyd Frederick Lloyd Elizabeth Simmons


Townsville Daily Bulletin, Friday 20 March 1942 p 4:

...Mrs. A. Lloyd, of Philp Street, Hermit Park, her grand-daughter, Clivien McLachlan, and her daughter, Mrs. M. C. Downey, have gone for an extended holiday in the South, and expect to spend some time in the West before going home.


Townsville Daily Bulletin, Monday 23 March 1942:

PHILP STREET FIRE
Dwelling Gutted
At 11.54 p.m. on Sunday the Fire Brigade received a call to proceed to Philp-street, Hermit Park. A large dwelling owned by Mr. C. Ede, and occupied by Mrs. Lloyd was totally destroyed. No details of insurance are available.


Townsville Daily Bulletin, Friday 8 May 1942 p 5:

FIRE INQUIRY Hermit Park House

... 68 Philp Street, Hermit Park, the property of Clarence George Ede, and the contents the property of Alice Lloyd, were destroyed ....
Mrs. Lloyd left the house a few days before the fire, but her two daughters were still in the house ...
Lorna Jean Lloyd stated she was a sister at a military hospital. When not on duty she resided with her mother....

Maybe, the chance of old photographs, was lost in the fire??

Mary, Thank you for taking time to do some research. I did see this immigration record and have a very strong feeling that this may be the Frederick I am looking for. Even though his age does not match by about 6 years I think it would have been a fairly common mistake to get a persons age wrong. There may have been a reason he wanted to appear a little older.

Additionally, your hypothesis regarding the lack of photos because of the house fire that burned up all of their possessions makes perfect sense. Again, thank you for your help.

Linda
