William Woodman Lloyd

William Woodman Lloyd
3rd Great Uncle of Kristina Hewitt

William Woodman Lloyd was born 20 Nov 1873 in Paisley, Bruce County, Ontario, Canada.

William Woodman Lloyd was the son of John Thomas Lloyd and Grace Elizabeth Slocum.

William Woodman Lloyd married Clara Johnson around 1898, probably in North Dakota.  I have not yet found a record of this marriage.

City directories for William Woodman Lloyd have been located.  It is interesting to see the different results at Ancestry.com from the new MyHeritage collection.

At Ancestry I found William W. Lloyd in the following city directories:

*1908 Minneapolis, Minnesota, bookkeeper at Tilton Canning and Preserving Company

*1909, Minneapolis, Minnesota "moved to Walker Minn"

1919, Minneapolis, Minnesota, 127 Seymour av
son William J listed as student at same address

1920, Minneapolis, Minnesota, 127 Seymour av
(interestingly, this in not the address in the 1920 census, which appears to be something like 70 Melborne St.

1921, Minneapolis, Minnesota, 127 Seymour av

1922, Minneapolis, Minnesota, 127 Seymour av
son William J listed as a student at same address.

1927, Minneapolis, Minnesota, 4501 42nd av

1928, Minneapolis, Minnesota, 4501 42nd av

1929, Minneapolis, Minnesota

1932, Minneapolis, Minnesota

1934, Minneapolis, Minnesota

1937, Minneapolis, Minnesota

1938 Minneapolis, Minnesota

1940 Minneapolis, Minnesota

1944, Minneapolis, Minnesota

1946, Minneapolis, Minnesota

* I am not certain these are "my" William W.

MyHeritage's new city directories collection groups all the years and gives :

Pretty interesting.  I agree with the estimated death dates, but disagree with the marriage range suggested.  That is when Clara appears but likely the city directory just didn't list women prior to the first date she appears here.  I have her listed as his wife as early as the 1900 census.

I checked for "who else lived at this address" hoping to find some entries where he was not found above and got

NameWilliam J Lloyd
ResidenceBetween 1925 and 1934
  Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA

See who else lived at this address
Residence statusRents, Homeowner

Records

1928, 1932, 1933 and 1934 should have been with the first grouping, not sure why they didn't group properly. They seem to have mistaken the son William J with the father William W.

I found this article, ran in The Bemidji Daily Pioneer, 22 Jul 1913

1913 article

This may be a different Agent Lloyd of Great Northern, as apparently they had one L. E. Lloyd.

This article, run in the same paper for 26 Dec 1914 is almost certainly William Woodward Lloyd.
