Lloyd (Losset)
|
The Lloyds of Lossett, county Cavan, descend from a family of Lloyds who settled at New Ross, county Wexford in the 17th century. Bartholomew Clifford Lloyd was the second son of the Reverend Bartholomew Lloyd, Provost of Trinity College, Dublin, and President of the Royal Irish Academy. His first wife was Caroline Hamilton Brooke of [Brookvale], Dromavanagh, county Cavan. In the mid-19th century B.C. Lloyd held an estate in the parish of Killashandra. In 1876, this estate amounted to 1,227 acres. There is no large house marked on maps for the townland of Losset.
