LLOYD OF
LLANBISTER AND MICHAELCHURCH-ON-ARROW
No
birth or baptism entries have been found for most of the sons and daughters of
Hugh Lloyd of Baynham Hall in Michaelchurch-on-Arrow,
Radnorshire. However, several children can be identified from various sources.
Although the 1841 census returns do not state relationships, living with Hugh
at the time were John Lloyd, Richard Lloyd, William Lloyd, Hugh Lloyd and Sarah
Lloyd, of plausible age to be his children,[1]
and their identifications as such are confirmed by their marriage certificates.
In addition, William is identified as Hugh’s son in the 1851 census returns,[2]
and specifically as Hugh’s fourth son in an 1855 newspaper notice.[3]
The
placement of Ann Lloyd, wife of John Davies, as a daughter of Hugh is based on
her son Edward being recorded as a nephew of William Lloyd in the 1861 census
returns.[4]
It can also be seen that one of John and Ann’s sons was named Hugh Lloyd
Davies, probably after his grandfather, and that Hugh Lloyd Davies appears to
have been at Baynham Hall with William Lloyd at the
time of the 1861 and 1871 censuses.[5]
Mary
Lloyd, wife of John Griffiths of Portway, Bryngwyn,[6]
was also a daughter of Hugh Lloyd of Baynham Hall.
Ann (Lloyd) Davies’s son William is identified as a nephew of John Griffiths in
the 1851 census returns[7]
and her daughter Mary as a niece of John Griffiths in the 1861 returns.[8]
William Lloyd of Baynham Hall made Thomas Griffiths
of Flintsham Court one of the executors of his will
and Thomas was the son of John and Mary (Lloyd) Griffiths.[9]
Thomas
Lloyd who married Sophia Lloyd in 1839 at Llansantffraed
is shown by his marriage certificate to be son of a Hugh Lloyd, and it appears
that this was Hugh Lloyd of Baynham Hall. Thomas’s
will names John Griffiths of Portway (husband of Mary,
daughter of Hugh Lloyd of Baynham Hall) as an
executor.[10]
Margaret (Lloyd) Drew, who was a granddaughter of Thomas and Sophia (Lloyd)
Lloyd, is stated to have been a granddaughter of Hugh Lloyd of Baynham Hall in a 1948 obituary. Although she would have
been his great-granddaughter rather than granddaughter, there was clearly a
belief of descent.[11]
Hugh
Lloyd was married to a woman named Ann.[12]
There was a marriage of a Hugh Lloyd, widower, to Anne Crewdar,
spinster, on 30 November 1805 at Llanddewi Ystradenni.[13]
Since that was the parish where Hugh Lloyd of Baynham
Hall is stated to have been born, the marriage would at first seem likely to be
his. However, there was also a marriage of a Hugh Lloyd, bachelor, and Ann Dakins, spinster, on 1 August 1806 at Llangynllo.[14]
It can be seen that John, son of Hugh Lloyd of Baynham
Hall, was born at Llangynllo and his baptism is
recorded there under the date 22 February 1807. The Llanddewi
Ystradenni parish registers show the baptism of a
Sarah Lloyd, daughter of Hugh and Ann, on 8 March 1807, only two weeks after
the baptism of John Lloyd at Llangynllo and so
presumably to different parents.[15]
It seems that the Dakins marriage relates to the Hugh
Lloyd who later lived at Baynham Hall. The Hugh Lloyd
who married Ann Crewdar was evidently the one who had
married Ann Wellings at Llanbadarn
Fawr in 1783. In 1812, administration of the estate
of Ann Lloyd of Beguildy was granted to her eldest
brother Hugh Lloyd of Llanddewi Ystradenni.[16]
This helps to identify them as children of Hugh Lloyd of Beguildy
whose will was proved in 1806.[17]
PARENTAGE OF HUGH
LLOYD OF BAYNHAM HALL
The
1851 census returns show that Hugh Lloyd of Baynham
Hall was born at Llanddewi Ystradenni
about 1770, and from the baptism there in January 1771 of Hugh, son of John
Lloyd and “his wife”, the name of Hugh’s father seems fairly clear. A Thomas,
son of John Lloyd, “from Llandewy”, was buried at Llanbister on 17 August 1773. There is no obvious baptism
for Thomas at Llanddewi, but at Llanbister
is recorded that of Thomas, son of John and Bridget Lloyd, in 1765, which seems
to be the same individual. After John’s death in 1802, his widow Bridget
renounced her right to administration and it was granted to John Lloyd and
Richard Lloyd, both of Llanbister, farmers, “two of
the sons” of the deceased.
There
was also a John Lloyd who married Sarah Ralph at Llanbister
in 1769, but Sarah daughter of John and Sarah Lloyd
was baptised in October 1770 and then Sarah, wife of John Lloyd was buried
November 1770, so it doesn’t seem that this could be the John whose son Hugh
was baptised in January 1771. A John Lloyd of Llanddewi
Ystradenni died in 1789 but his will indicates that
he was not the father of Hugh Lloyd as the testator does not mention any
children of his own and leaves his property to more distant relatives. He does
mention a Hugh Lloyd, but it is the latter’s wife Ann who is the “Kinswoman”
and this was evidently the Ann Wellings who married
Hugh Lloyd in 1783 as John Lloyd the testator mentions other Wellings relatives.[18]
There
were court proceedings from 1838 to 1840 when the defendant, John Lloyd of Llanbister, was described as the heir at law of David
Lloyd, vicar of Llanbister.[19]
One of the deponents stated that the defendant was a first cousin of the vicar.[20]
A question was raised as to whether the venue of the case should be changed
from Radnorshire to Herefordshire, it being said that “the defendant, who was
an old man, had practised extensively as a bone setter of good repute, and had
thereby obtained such an influence over the class of persons in his
neighbourhood from whom jurors were selected, as rendered it impossible for the
lessors of the plaintiff to obtain a fair trial”.[21]
The bonesetting link strongly suggests that the
defendant was from the same family as Hugh Lloyd of Baynham
Hall, as bonesetting was stated to be a talent of
Hugh[22]
and a number of his descendants.[23]
David
Lloyd, the vicar, was born at Llanbister in 1752 and
“His father was Thomas Lloyd, the second son of Hugh Lloyd, of Trevodick, and his mother was Mary, daughter of David James
of Little Croscunnon, both in that parish”.[24]
This fits with the will of Hugh Lloyd of Llanbister,
written in 1742, which names “my children John Thomas Hugh James Richard Ann
and Jane”.[25]
If the first son John was the father of the John Lloyd who was the old bonesetting defendant of 1839, it would seem to fit with
the defendant being a first cousin and heir of the vicar, as well as being a
half-brother of the bonesetter Hugh Lloyd of Baynham
Hall.
SILVER JOHN
Mention
should be made of the legend of Silver John, said to be a bonesetter called
John Lloyd, living in the late eighteenth or early nineteenth century. It is
alleged that he was murdered by some men from New Radnor for the silver gifts
he acquired when tending broken bones and that his body was not discovered for
some time until it was found in the frozen Llyn Hilyn
near Llanfihangel-Nant-Melan.[26]
The bonesetting connection has led to speculation
that Silver John was a near relative of Hugh Lloyd of Baynham
Hall.
The
earliest published version of the Silver John legend
that I have seen is by John Hutchinson (1829-1916)[27]
and dates from 1881. It does not mention Silver John’s surname or bonesetting, but says that he “seems to have been a
combination of a Welsh drover and freebooter”, whose sobriquet derived from his
habit of wearing silver buttons on his coat when he appeared in public. It is
said that, “Though leading a sort of outlaw’s life, he occasionally, like some
Italian bandit of the Abruzzi, showed himself unblushingly in the market-place
of Radnor, the inhabitants of which it was his delight on these occasions
openly to defy, to bully, and, if any of them were rash enough to invite a
combat, to thrash”. Even at that date it was unclear whether the story was
founded on fact. The verse often quoted in connection with Silver John is given:[28]
“Silver John” is
dead and gone
(So they came home a-singing);
The Radnor boys
Pulled out his
eyes
And set the bells
a-ringing!
The
accuracy of the modern accounts of Silver John as the bonesetter John Lloyd is
in considerable doubt, especially in light of the records of the Court of Great
Sessions. One of the cases was the murder of John Jones of Llanfihangel
Rhydithon at New Radnor after a drunken fight on 12
December 1773. More than once it is stated that Jones was known as Silver John.
His corpse was found on 4 April 1774 “upon the forrest”
and was carried down to New Radnor and home to Llanfihangel
Rhydithon. The records of the case also state that a
witness said he saw two or three people walking on Llyn Hilyn
when it was frozen over and that there appeared to be “a dark place” in the
pool near which the people stood for some time. In the descriptions of the
wounds to John’s body when it had been found, it was noted that some parts of
the corpse had been eaten and that “both Eyes were out”.[29]
An
account of Silver John from 1941 accords remarkably well with this, stating
that John lived at Llanfihangel Rhydithon,
came to an inn at New Radnor and after a quarrel was followed on his return
journey, killed, and buried on the hill above Nibletts
Quarry. The main difference is that Silver John is said to have lived “About
eighty years ago”. Again, John’s surname is not given and there is no mention
of bonesetting.[30]
Sid
Wright’s account published in 1943 is the earliest version of the legend I have
seen that describes Silver John as a bonesetter called John Lloyd. This was
closely followed by Howse’s Radnor Old and New in 1944, which mentions S. Wright as a source.[31]
Wright notes that his account of Silver John resulted from time spent at the
Forest Inn (near Llanfihangel-Nant-Melan) in 1942 and
1943 and that the tale was told to the author “by David Green Pryce (Dai), the
rabbit catcher, one evening at the Forest Inn during last wimberry
picking”.[32]
In this version, it was Mary, the landlord’s daughter from the Forest Inn, who
discovered the body of Silver John in the frozen lake.
The
concurrence of many of the details makes it very likely that the murder of John
Jones was the basis for the legend of John Lloyd the bonesetter. In fact, it is
not impossible that a John Lloyd could also have been known as John Jones at
that time in Radnorshire.[33]
However, the discrepancy in the surname and the different characterisation of
Silver John in the earliest known published accounts are significant reasons
for thinking that the historical event has been associated with the Lloyd
family in error.

A Hugh Lloyd and Anne Pryce were married at Leinthall Starkes, Herefordshire, on 2 Jun 1719. Chronologically, this is a possible marriage for the Llanbister couple although a little later than might be expected from the wording of Hugh’s will, which suggests that three of his children were at least twenty-one in Aug 1742. It is not yet known whether Ann was the mother of all Hugh’s children. The will of a Hugh Price of Llanbister, written in 1705, mentions both a son James and a daughter Ann (National Library of Wales, BR1706-33). Hugh Lloyd’s brother-in-law James Price could perhaps be James Price of Castle Pren, Llanddewi Ystradenni.

Thomas Dyke and Ann Owens were married at Llanbister in 1811, and Ann is described as a spinster on the marriage bond. Thomas Dyke deposed in 1839 that his wife was a first cousin of David Lloyd, the vicar of Llanbister (The Hereford Times, 6 Apr 1839).

appears to be the one baptised on 4 Jan 1774 at Llanddewi

of John baptised there the same year (National Library of Wales, BR1826-27, BR1831-2).
