[3] Lloyd was born in 1560 at Bryn Euryn, Llandrillo yn Rhos in Wales.

His father was Meredith Lloyd of Llanelian-yn-Rhos, Denbighshire, and his mother Jonet Conwy.

Anne married secondly Theophilus Eaton, merchant, diplomat, and, later, one of the founders and the first governor of the New Haven Colony.

[2] Despite this, the appointment was a significant promotion and stepping stone to a more prominent position in England.

[11] Although Lloyd did have a bishop's palace on the Isle of Man, some twenty miles north of the cathedral at Peel, he significantly refurbished a fashionable townhouse at Watergate Street in Chester, part of Chester Rows.

He died 1 August 1615, and was buried in Chester cathedral, where he is commemorated by a mural inscription.
