Townsville AU - Frederick George Lloyd Family (Help!)

Townsville AU - Frederick George Lloyd Family (Help!)

Classification: Query
Surnames: Lloyd, Hewitt
I am hoping someone can help me sort out a problem. I saw that Frederick Geroge was sharing several mine leases with three other Lloyd's. I am trying to establish if they were his brothers. They are Ernest, Henry and William. Any information would be greatly appreciated. I believe the mine was in Cloncurry.

Hi,
There doesn't appear to be deaths for these men with the same parents names as Frederick's.

What does Frederick's death cert state about his time in colony?
Maybe if we can get an approx. date/state of arrival we can find his passenger records or a lead.

I haven't been able to pinpoint Frederick's actual time of arrival. I believe it to be sometime in the late 1890s. I am unable to find him on England census records either. I am not certain but believe he is the same Frederick listed on the census in Plumstead with his parents and brothers.

Does it have anything on his death certificate under "Time In Colony"?
Does it state how long in Australia and which states?

Does his marriage cert state he was "single"?

His death certificate says "over 30 years in Queensland" He was married in 1912. So he would have arrived about 1882. Thank you for helping me sort this out. I was unfamiliar with the significance of the information contained on these documents but know what to look for now. I wish I could find him on the 1881or 1871 England Census. He states his birth place is Hastings, Sussex, England, but I can't find him there or anywhere else for that matter.

HIs marriage certificate says "Bachelor" It appears he was 45 years of age at the time of his marriage. So he was only 17 when he arrived in Queensland in about 1882. I wonder if he cam alone and with family.

Thank you again for helping me sort this out. I now have information that I wasn't aware of because I didn't look at the dates and information contained in the death and marriage certificates. It has been a long learning process for me. I hope to be able to pinpoint his whereabouts in England with this new information. You have been a great help. Linda

Hi Linda,
Does his "marriage" certificate name his parents? I know you mentioned his death cert does but what I really need is the names and exact spellings from his marriage cert, if they are listed>

I have been really scouring records and cannot find anything positive on him but usually when this happens it's due to a couple of reasons, one being they were illegitimate and given the mothers surname at birth but later the mother marries and the father/step fathers name is taken on OR they are born but later the father dies and mother remarries and the stepfathers name is taken on.

I'm just hoping if he names his parents (especially the mother) on his marriage cert we might be able to find possible births and match them to a later remarriage for the mother to a LLOYD.
