Written by Francis Seymour, youngest son of Edmund Lloyd
My father Edmund Eyre Lloyd the elder was the third and apparently the favourite son of Edmund and Mary Ann Lloyd, as he alone of the family had not caused them anxiety or trouble.
He received private tuition at home and it was decided that he should enter the medical profession. To this end after the completion of his early education he was apprenticed (as the custom then was) to Mr. (afterwards Sir) Francis Haden a well-known surgeon, dilettante and artist, founder and first president of the Society of Painter Etchers, and lived with him in his house. Here he came into contact with many people well-known in the world of Science and Art and especially James Abbott McNeill Whistler, the famous anglo-american artist.
He then studied (walked the wards) at St. George’s Hospital, London where he also made many friends including Frank Buckland (1826-80) the famous naturalist. When the date for his final examination was approaching he decided to keep the fact from his parents until he had succeeded in passing it, and paid for his coaching and other fees with part of a legacy left by his grandmother. He passed his examination and obtained his degree in 1854, see letter to his parents.
He applied for and received his commission in 1855 and sailed for the East as an officer of the Madras Medical Service which was later incorporated into the Indian Medical Service. His first assignment was to China where he served under Charles Gordon from 13th January to August 1857 (this is incorrect as Gordon did not arrive in China until 1860. CRSL), being present with the expedition to Kowloon under Major Cazalet, 29th Regiment Madras Native Infantry, and at the taking of the Fort, at that place being mentioned in despatches and receiving a medal.
On the 25th October 1858 he was married at St. George’s Church, Penang to Sophia, the youngest daughter of Sir Joseph Douglas R.N. They moved to Coconada with the 22nd regiment and here tragedy overtook the young couple for Sophia Lloyd died on 30.7.1859 of puerperal fever, ten days after the birth of her daughter Sophia Ellen Douglas, at the early age of 23. The infant died on 3.10.1855 and was buried beside her mother.
He was next transferred to Nellore, S.E. India where he held the appointment of Zillah Surgeon and here he met the lady who was to become his second wife. He was married on his birthday Wednesday 6th June, 1865 at Christ Church, Nellore to Henrietta E.M. Simpson. The union proved an ideal one for both partners and they lived together in the greatest affection and happiness until his death in 1904
At Nellore their family of 3 girls was followed by 2 boys. Shortly after the birth of their youngest son they moved to Tanjore, S. India where Edmund Lloyd was appointed Medical Superintendent of the Tanjore Gaol, also practising as a Civil Surgeon.
In 1875 he brought the 4 eldest children to England leaving them in charge of their great aunt Mrs. F.F. Thorne at ‘Rose Bank’, 72 Lee Road, Lee S.E. London. The baby (myself) was left behind in the charge of his grandmother Mrs. Henrietta Boileau Simpson of Bangalore and of her sister, his great aunt Eliza called by him ‘Ammie’, until the return of his parents.
(Written by Henrietta Alice Mary, eldest daughter of Edmund Lloyd)
In 1876 my father was transferred to the Tanjore District. Here he had to attend the local Rajahs and Ranees, prince and princess. The princess was not allowed to show her face to a man, beyond the men of her own family but she always required my father’s services when ill herself or for any other lady of the harem. There, father could only feel her pulse by her hand thrust through a hole in the ‘purdah’ (curtain). The princess was very fond of my brother Frank who was still with his mother in India and she always wanted him brought to her when Mrs. Lloyd visited her. She presented him with a gorgeous young rajah’s suit and cap – yellow velvet embroidered with sequins and cloth trousers and a purple velvet cap also heavily embroidered with sequins.
She used to enjoy giving tennis parties to the English residents (see photograph) near her palace in Tanjore where her husband (who was also her uncle and years older) used to play too but the princess and her ladies could only look on through the peep holes in the large purdah behind which they sheltered all the time when there was any chance of a man seeing them.
Alice Mundell, third daughter of James Bamford Flude 1819-1904 went out to India with the Lloyds when they returned in 1876. She married Alfred Millar, superintendent of a large Government rice plantation. (see picture of mixed tennis party). Richard and Rosemary Millar are coming to us at Lansdowne Road, Luton on 6th June, 1998.
Continued by Francis Seymour Lloyd.
In 1884 Edmund Eyre Lloyd retired with the rank of Brigade Surgeon General, raised shortly afterwards to Deputy Surgeon General and returned to England where the family was reunited.
For about a year they lived at ‘Glengall Villas’, 101 Lee Road opposite ‘Rose Bank’ and after came to live at Bedford , first at No 1 and later No 14 Lansdowne Road in 1886. Here the family received their main education, the daughters at Bedford High School (where my sister Jane was educated CRSL) and the sons at Bedford Grammar School – now known as Bedford School (I was there from 1951-54). After a time Ted (Edmund Eyre) left to go to Brighton College, Headmaster Rev. Thomas Belcher. My father’s younger brother William Henry with his family also lived at Bedford at 44 Linden Road and the relations between the two families were always cordial.
In 1898 his two sons left school and went to London to study medicine at St. Mary’s Hospital, Praed Street, Paddington. The three girls also left school and my father decided to leave Bedford chiefly in search of health as he became somewhat of a valetudinarian, suffering as he did from asthma and chronic bronchitis.
In their search for suitable surroundings the family wandered from place to place, staying for varying periods at Woking, Brighton, Bournemouth, Bembridge, Totland, Sidmouth and finally to ‘Markham House’, Broad Street, Wokingham, Berks. Edmund lived there until his death, after five days illness from pneumonia on the 8th April, 1904. He was buried in All Saint’s Churchyard, Wokingham in a grave not far from the north side of the chancel.
After his retirement and return to England my father took no active part in politics, military or social life but was content to lead a quiet country life. His chief interests being the garden, the newspapers and a daily walk in the countryside.
He was naturally affectionate towards his wife and family especially his daughters but he concealed his feelings behind a mask of reserve, at times almost severe, so that he was apt to be misunderstood, especially to us boys to whom he rarely unbent. Looking back now I think we did not realize the reason for this sternness and apparent lack of interest, but I have come to realise that he had become so overwhelmed by the dissolute behaviour of his brother Oliver and of his sons and of Eustace Lloyd who were continually plaguing for monetary help, that he was in great dread of his sons following this distressing example and feared that we might also become wasters and ne’er-do-wells. With this in mind my brother Ted and I were kept tightly on the chain, especially financially, during the whole period of our hospital life which only succeeded in making us resentful, for he never confided in us of his motives or consulted us on family questions as we grew older, even when we had qualified and been in medical practice for some years. This policy might have proved disastrous by precipitating the denouement he feared so much, but I am able to say with confidence that neither of us gave him the slightest reason for anxiety in conduct or in expenditure in any way to justify the least of his fears.
This is the last Will and Testament of me Edmund Eyre Lloyd of ‘Trellis House’, Dorking in the county of Surrey Deputy Surgeon General I.M.S. (retired) I bequeath to each of my children Henrietta Alice Mary Ann Lloyd, Sophia Eliza Lloyd, Helena Louisa Lloyd, Edmund Eyre Lloyd and Francis Seymour Lloyd £100, I bequeath all the residue of my estate and effects unto my wife Henrietta Elizabeth Mary Lloyd absolutely I appoint my wife my said son Edmund Eyre and Edward Walter Haines of No 10 Serjeants inn, Fleet Street, in the city of London solicitor EXECUTORS of this my Will and I declare that the said Edward Walter Haines shall be entitled to charge and be paid all professional and other charges for any business or act done in connection with such executorship IN WITNESS whereof I have set my hand to this my Will the 2nd November, 1898.

Henrietta Elizabeth Mary Lloyd
27.10.1847 – 5.12.1935
The second wife of Edmund Eyre Lloyd. My dear Mother (affectionately known to her relations as Lizzie) was the eldest daughter of Archibald Moncrieff Simpson and his wife Henrietta Boileau, born Flude. Born at Nellore, India, whilst still a child she was taken about the year 1853 by her mother to England together with her younger sister Louisa and her brother Henry.
They travelled in a sailing ship which in those days made the journey to Europe around the Cape of Good Hope, what to us nowadays would seem to be a very long journey indeed. The food was not very good, especially short in vegetables and without any fresh milk. In consequence little Harry died of malnutrition on the 25 July and Louisa sickened and died of dysentery on the 10 August, both were buried at sea. My Mother always spoke of her little sister as a most attractive child, a great favourite with all on board.
On arrival in England Mrs. Simpson and her daughter Lizzie went to stay with Mrs. Simpson’s mother, Mrs. Elizabeth Flude, a widow living in her own house in Dacre Park, Lee, S.E. London with her other three daughters, who were Eliza Mary, Louisa and Emily Augusta (later Mrs. F.F. Thorne) and her son James Bamford Flude (Uncle James married a Miss Acheson)
In 1863 at the age of 16 Lizzie Simpson returned to India to her parents at Nellore. She was a very good-looking girl and was much admired. Shortly before her arrival at Nellore a new young doctor had been appointed to the district, and gossips on the arrival of a charming girl, foretold that she and Dr. Lloyd, a widower, would make a match. But Lizzie would not tolerate such a suggestion, said that she disliked the look of the doctor and moreover hated the name Edmund as she associated it with another Edmund, a very disagreeable boy she had met in her schooldays and a bad character.
However they soon met, as the Doctor became friendly with her parents, with the result that they fell in love and were married on the 6th June, Edmund’s birthday. During the period of their engagement they were both invited to a house of a neighbour. Though the Doctor declared that he hated dancing he attempted a waltz with his fiancee, caught his foot in some equality of the flooring and fell down flat, bringing her down with him to her great embarrassment and mortification.
In 1876 Surgeon Lloyd was transferred to Tanjore where he was appointed Medical Officer in charge of the Government Gaol and Hospital, an important post which he occupied until his retirement in 1885. In the course of his duties as the Head Government Official of the district he was called upon to frequently entertain important government and military personages on rounds of inspection, and my mother’s position as the leading lady of Tanjore was of the greatest assistance in rendering such visits both successful and enjoyable. Among her well-known visitors was Lord Scarsdale and my mother gave him great pleasure by restoring to him the recipe for the famous Scarsdale Christmas pudding which had been lost to his family for many years, though much missed and talked about. It had been a constant feature of the Christmas fare in the Lloyd family for many years.
In 1875 the Lloyds took their 4 eldest children to England whilst baby Frank was left behind with his grandmother Mrs. Henrietta Boileau Simpson and her sister Eliza Flude (Ammie). On her return to Tanjore my Mother had more time to devote to me and this she did with great success as she was well versed in the Arts, particularly in ancient and modern history and folklore, and could play and sing a little, particularly old ballads and folk songs of Scotland to which her father always enjoyed listening. She was a born storyteller and she would often, as time allowed, relate to her eager, attentive and fascinated little son, tales of the Gods and heroes of ancient Greece and Rome, stories of English romantic history of King Arthur and his knights and rounding off her stories by reading poetical and other works, singing operatic arias and English and Scottish folk songs to illustrate them. In this way she implanted in the small boy’s mind a great deal of general knowledge and aroused in him a deep love of history, art, colour and music which he never forgot and which was to prove of great assistance to him in later life.
In 1880 or thereabouts Henrietta played the part of Queen Eleanor in a play.
In 1885 Edmund Eyre retired, his students at the Hospital with others in the Tanjore District wished to present him with a magnificent inscribed silver salver which the Government would not allow him to accept. (This differs somewhat from the newspaper article on Page 11) I believe it was melted down to furnish funds to form the nucleus of a teaching scholarship in the hospital.
Upon retirement to England and after Edmund’s death at Wokingham in 1904 her financial outlook now becoming straightened a smaller house was purchased in Sturges Road and christened ‘Nellore’ in memory of many, happy times in the past. The family was essentially a united one but the first blow fell when Sophia, after a somewhat obscure illness, died on the 9th September, 1923 from malignant endocarditis to be followed by Helen, her youngest daughter, from a liver complaint on the 20th June, 1932.
Mrs. Lloyd continued to live at ‘Nellore’ with her daughter Hettie until her death on 5th December, 1935 after a long illness. She was buried beside her husband and daughters.
She was a most sweet and amiable person, devoted to her husband and children. Always happy and contented and a wonderful example of courage and devotion so rarely met with, and she is much missed.

We offer our sincere sympathy to Miss Lloyd (Hettie) and trust that she will continue to live amongst us. She can ill be spared in Wokingham, where her work which she carried on besides her home duties, is very much appreciated.
