Very interesting

This is wonderful to read. Owen Lloyd is my 8th Great-Grandfather on my father's side of the family tree. Thank you for posting!

How are your family connected to the Lloyds of Rockville County Roscommon.
I do know that Owen Lloyd married a daughter of Humphrey Reynolds of Lough Scur County Leitrim in the 17th Century and in turn their son married a Miss Blackburne daughter of Archdeacon Blackburne of Elphin and Carrickena (Rockville)

Hello, and thank you for responding! Here's how I'm related:

My father was Michael John Smyth.

My Grandfather was Percy Hubert Smyth.

My Great-grandfather was Thomas Francis Smyth (b. 1878), who married Annetta Gorman, of Ballymote, Sligo.

My 2nd Great-grandfather was Thomas Francis Smyth (b. 1846), who married Sarah Dobbs Munro.

My 3rd Great-grandmother was Frances Lloyd Carson, who married John Smyth.

My 4th Great-grandmother was Jane Lloyd, who married John Carson.

Jane was the daughter of John Yeadon Lloyd & Catherine Croston. 

John Yeadon Lloyd was the son of Owen Lloyd (b. 1714) & Susannah Blackburne.

My records indicate that Owen Lloyd (b. 1714) was the son of Owen Lloyd (b 1660) and Susannah Yeadon, not a Reynolds. This would be interesting for me to check into further, since it seems our research has found different information? I got most of mine from Burke's Landed Gentry.

Mine show that Owen Lloyd (b. 1660) was the son of the Owen Lloyd in this particular post (b. 1631) & Elizabeth Fitzgerald.

Owen Lloyd (b. 1631) was the son of Thomas Lloyd (b. 1595) & Honora Price.

Thomas Lloyd was the son of Robert Lloyd (b. 1566) & Ann Mostyn.

How are you related? :-)

Elizabeth Fitzgerald wasn't the daughter of Sir Luke Fitzgerald. I have looked everywhere I can think of and find nothing about Luke having had a daughter named Elizabeth (One daughter only - Helena, who married Col Henry O'Neill). However, Burke's Landed Gentry of Ireland and other resources note that Elizabeth Fitzgerald was the daughter of Richard Blackburne of Carrickena. (See Lloyds of Rockville in that book).

Owen Lloyd and Elizabeth Fitzgerald are my 8th Great-grandparents.

The memorial to Owen LLoyd in Elphin Cathedral gives 1622 as his year of birth and 1664 as the year of his death.

T. E. Conlon, many thanks for your post confirming Owen Lloyd's birthdate (1622-1664). Do you have a photo of this memorial, by chance?

I have also found references to Owen's wife, Elizabeth Fitzgerald, having been the Grand-daughter of Sir Luke Fitzgerald, not his daughter as mentioned in another post on this page. (see Lloyd of Croghan info online). She was the daughter of Richard Fitzgerald of Castle Dodd, Cork.

I've also discovered that my 5th Great-grandparents were not John Yeadon Lloyd & Catherine Crofton. John's brother, William, and his wife, Mary Hampton Jones were my relations. Their daughter, Jane Lloyd, married John Carson, and their daughter, Frances Lloyd Carson, married John Smyth. They were my 3rd Great-grandparents. Their son, Thomas Francis Smyth, married Sarah Dobbs Munro, who had my Great-grandfather, Thomas Francis Smyth who married Annetta Gorman of Ballymote, Sligo. Their son, Percy Hubert Smyth was my Grandad.
