Dear Jenny, Pat has supplied you with details of Martha Taylor nee Lloyd as being about 25 years old in 1841, i.e. born somewhere around 1816. From the 1813-37 Pembrokeshire marriages index, it is therefore possible that her parents may be found amongst: William Lloyd m. Elizabeth Davies at H/west St.Mary on 04/02/1813 George Lloyd Esq. of St. Thomas Haverforwest m. Margaret Jane Harries at Haverfordwest St. Mary, 02/09/1816. Jenkin Lloyd, widower m. Elizabeth Griffiths of H/west St. Mary who married at H/west St. Martin, 15/09/1816. With your information that Martha Lloyd (later Taylor) was of Hermon's Hill in 1838 (when she'd be about 22)...and mine that Samuel Harries was the inheritor for his life and he died in 1839 there might be a connection to the second item. Samuel's son, John Harries (of Trevacoon), was High Sheriff in 1846 and his wife Martha died in 1872 aged 76, meaning she'd be born around 1796 so her husband was probably John Harding Harries who married Martha Williams in 1817...just possibly the brother of the Margaret Jane above. I've copied to Tony James who has done a deal of work on the various Harries and who might point out if I'm having a Christmas brainstorm....it is quite late and I've been to two Christmas parties today......no, lemonade only!

The only information I have is that of their son JOHN TAYLOR b. cir 1814 married to MARTHA LLOYD. They were married 1838, hverfordwest, Pem. At the time of marriage Martha's residence was Hermons Hill. I have also been told that Martha was related to the LLOYDs of London and received an annuity from them each year.

Hi Bettye Following my reply to Jenny with census information on-list I've been passing on more info to Jenny off-list. One part was the fact that in 1841 Hermon's Hill was occupied by George Beddoe aged 77 , of Independent means together with 2 other probably unrelated families. I think Martha LLoyd was employed as a servant in this household at the time of her marriage so exploration of owners may be a bit of a red herring!! - but then you never know!!. I am planning to follow up the marriage of Martha to John Taylor so that she can establish her father's name and occupation eventually. Then we can see if one of the possibles that you have provided "fit the bill". I'll keep you posted of any outcome - but it may be a while.
