Sampson Lloyd (MP)

Sampson Samuel Lloyd (10 November 1820 – 3 March 1889)[1][2] was a British banker and Conservative Party politician.

[5] In his election address in 1868 Lloyd took a strong antidisestablishmentarian stance on proposals to disestablish the (Anglican) Church of Ireland,[6] warning that such a move would undermine the Protestant basis of the British constitution, and fearing that it would lead to "a great increase in the political power of the hierarchy established in that country by the Court of Rome".

[9][10] He held that seat until the constituency was abolished at the 1885 general election,[1] when he was defeated by the Liberal Lord William Compton in the new Stratford-on-Avon division of Warwickshire.

[11] Lloyd married twice, firstly in 1844 to Emma, the daughter of Samuel Reeve from Leighton Buzzard.

[4] He married again in 1865 to Marie, the daughter of his Excellency Lieutenant-General Friedrich Wilhelm Menckhoff (1789-1866) of the Prussian Army.
