| Llewelyn was a physicist and writer on acoustics.
He was aged 4 in the 1881 census, living at Moseley Park, Street Lane.
He was not listed in 1891 census, presumably because he was away at school then, attending King William's College on the Isle of Man.
He then went to Christ's College, Cambridge University where he was 9th Wrangler and took a First in the Natural Science Tripos in 1899.
He was aged 24 in the 1901 census and was still at his parent's home address, working as a Junior Inspector with the Borough of Education
He was married in the 3rd Quarter of 1902
By 1905 he had become H.H. Inspector of sSchools (Secondary Schools branch) and in 1917 became Assistant Secretary to the Department of Scientific Research.
He was created C.B. (Civil) in 1921.
He witnessed his father's death in 1925, at which time he was living at North Park, Gerrards Cross, working in the Civil Service (Board of Education).
From 1935 to 1943 he was Principal Assistant Secretary to the Department of Scientific Research.
From 1946 to 1950 he was chairman of the Committee on Standard Pitch, British Standards Institution.
Llewelyn was an organist, composer and theorist and wrote at least 3 books about music:
1. Music and Sound, published in June 1937 by Ayer Co Pub
1. A Musical Slide Rule, published in 1938 (Oxford)
2. The Musical Ear, published in 1940 (Oxford)
His various articles were collected together postumously by Hugh Boyle in "Intervals, scales and temperaments" published in 1963, which contains his portrait as the frontispiece. One of the copyright holders was Mrs A M Rowe, his daughter.
The death record in Warwickshire has not been confirmed, but the year and the second initial (ie S) are a match, so it may well be have been him. He was certainly deceased by 1963, when "Intervals Scales and Temperaments" was written. |

| Harold was aged 1 in 1881 census, 11 in 1891 census
He was educated at King William's College in the Isle of Man (with Rev F.P.Walters) to which he was awarded an entrance scholarship. He matriculated in June 1899 in the University of London exams.
He was an Undergraduate Student at Cambridge at the time of the1901 census
At the time of the 1911 census he was living at home, aged 31 and a director of a limited company (described as a driving chain manufacturers)
He went to Ann Arbor, Michigan as a university professor and was later joined by Myfanwy who stayed out there with him.
In 1927 he sailed on the "Montnairn" from Quebec arriving on 24th June at Southampton to visit his widowed mother at Oxleas in Burchclere. At this time he was aged 47and living in the USA
In 1928 he sailed on the "Empress of Japan" from Quebec arriving on 27th June at Southampton to visit his mother again at Oxleas.
n 1929 he sailed on the "Duchess of Bedford" from Quebec arriving on 22ndJune at Southampton to visit his mother again at Oxleas.
In 1930 he sailed on the "Empress of Japan" from Quebec arriving on 1st July at Southampton to visit his mother again at Oxleas.
In 1934 he sailed with sister Myfanwy on the "Empress of Australia" from Quebec via Cherbourg arriving on 28th June at Southampton to visit his recently widowed brother-in-law Gilbert Ballance at Marsham Lodge in Gerrards Cross, his own mother having died at Oxleas in early 1931.
In 1939 he sailed on the "Duchess of Atholl" with sister Myfanwy (aged 45, occupation shown as "NIL") from Montreal, Quebec arriving at Liverpool on 2nd July. They were to stay with their brother-in-law Gilbert Ballance Esq. (my grandfather) at his house in Lewknor, Oxon. Note that this was around the start of World War II.
Although he once proposed marriage, his proposal was not accepted and he remained a bachelor and remained close to Olwen's family. Myfanwy was given the engagement ring on Harold's death, which she subsequently bequeathed to Idwal's daughter Nancy.
The following biography was published in Ann Arbor, Michigan, where he was a professor . . .
The scene of Professor Harold R. Lloyd's "prep" school days was King William's College, on the Isle of Man.
At the age of nineteen, Mr. Lloyd received the Senior Mathematical Scholarship at Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge, where he studied from 1899 until 1903. During his university work he was awarded first class honors in both mathematics and the mechanical sciences.
In comparing the curricula of Cambridge University with those offered at the University of Michigan, Mr. Lloyd says that the basic, preparatory courses are much the same. The courses were more comprehensive and less technically detailed at the turn of the century, but this was due, perhaps, to the lack of specific technical knowledge available
today. He believes that "It is better to have the fundamental theory taught you. Maybe we do specialize a little too much in modern engineering schooling."
Upon graduation from Cambridge, Mr. Lloyd entered a graduate training program in electrical engineering with
the British Westinghouse Electrical and mManufacturing Co., Ltd., of Manchester, where his duties included the testing of electrical machinery and instruments. British Westinghouse has since become Metropolitan Vickers, Ltd., one of the largest manufacturers of electrical equipment in the British Isles.
In 1905, Mr. Lloyd joined the firm of Hans Renold, Ltd., the maker of the famous "Silent Chain." There he was in charge of purchasing and testing the steels used in the manufacture of these chain drives, and he supervised the design of mass-production and custom-built equipment. In 1911, Mr. Lloyd was made a director of this firm.
He first crossed the Atlantic to America in the next year, when he joined the staff of the University of Michigan as an instructor. He taught classes in Heat Engines, Mechanics, and the Mechanical Laboratory during the three years from 1912 to 1915.
When the First World War broke out, Professor Lloyd returned to England, rejoining the Hans Renold or
ganization as it rolled into war-production. He became Personnel Manager of the company's Manchester Munitions
Works, and was particularly active in labor relations matters and educational programs.
In 1924, Mr. Lloyd returned to Ann Arbor and the University of Michigan as an assistant professor, and he was
advanced to the rank of associate professor in 1936. He has since taught courses in Mechanism and Machine Design, as well as his specialty, Advanced Dynamics, including Vibrations and Gyroscopic Action. Professor Lloyd became an American citizen in 1940.
It was in Ann Arbor that he first tried the game of golf, and he finds it "Much more fun than cricket, for I do not think much of the national sport of my home country! Although I'm not too good at golf, I've recently bought a new set of good clubs."
A member of the University of Michigan Choral Union for more than ten years, and of St. Andrew's Episcopal Choir for nearly twenty, Professor Lloyd has always supported good music in Ann Arbor, and he has regularly attended the concerts and May Festivals in the city.
The Regents express to Harold Rhys Lloyd, Associate Professor of Mechanical Engineering
their most cordial felicitations upon his attainment of the age of seventy years on October 29, 1949,
thereby becoming eligible for retirement under the provisions of the "Bylaws" of the University.
Professor Lloyd first came to the University of Michigan in 1912 as a graduate with first-class
honors in both the mathematics and the mechanical sciences tripos of Cambridge University and
with practical experience in a large industrial firm. From 1912 to 1915 he served as an instructor,
and after an interval of nine years, during which he returned to his former employers in England,
he returned to our College of Engineering as Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering.
He was promoted to the associate professorship in 1936 and throughout his many years of teaching
has proved himself a skilled and conscientious member of our staff.
The Regents of the University of Michigan have adopted this memoir as a mark of their
appreciation of Professor Lloyd's loyal and valuable services and confer upon him, as of the date of
his retirement, February 11, 1950, the title Associate Professor Emeritus of Mechanical Engineering. |

| Olwen was living at Claremont, Cheadle Hume aged 9 in 1891.
I previously had her birth year recorded incorrectly as 1882
Olwen went to school at Cheltenham Ladies College (as did her sister Myfanwy) in the days of Miss Beale and Miss Buss, between September 1896 and June 1900.
She was aged 19 in the 1901 census.
Olwen was very artistic, studying at Manchester College of Art, as her mother has done before her.
She is known to have painted at Newlyn in Cornwall and she also went to Paris.
She was still living at home at Claremont at the time of the 1911 census, aged 29, and she was described then as being a Painter (artist)
Olwen went to Burma with her brother Idwal, reportedly to recover from some love problems!
There she met Gilbert Ballance (her future husband) in Rangoon at a game of golf, so their relationship was later referred to as "the golf match" I have a tankard from the Rangoon golf club that her husband must have won there.
Olwen moved to Bombay after her marriage to Gilbert in Rangoon and Betty was born there.
Her mother was not very well around this time, so she returned to Gerrards Cross (Marsham Lodge) with Betty (aged three and a half) and John (aged 1) on the Merkara from Bombay to London, arriving on 21st March 1919.
Sadly for Betty, who was only 17 at the time, Olwen died aged just 51
She was buried at St James Church in Gerrards Cross, just behind the wall along the rear of the church. Her husband Gilbert was later buried in the same plot.
Probate was granted in London to Gilbert Ballance (manager). Effects 3519 GBP |

| Alan was aged 7 in 1891 census, having been born in the fourth quarter of 1883
Like his older brother Llewelyn, he was educated at King William's College on the Isle of Man and then went to Gonville and Caius Cambridge University, where he took a Members' Prize for a Latin essay and gained the Bhavangar Medal.
He passed the Indian Civil Serevice examination in 1906 worked for the Indian Civil Service from 1907 to 1947, initially in Burma in the Customs Department, transferring to Bengal in 1916 where he was made Collector of Cusoms,
In 1923 he was selected to serve on the newly established Central Board of Revenue and on 2nd January 1928 he was made a Member of the Central Board of Revenue and awarded CIE. He was appointed Secretary of the Commerce Department at Delhi in 1939 and lived and worked there for US intelligence during the war I believe.
His wife deposited 28 items (in 7 boxes) with British Library MSS Eur F146
NOTE: It is worth pointing out that in 1928 an Alan H Lloyd wrote a book about forestry in Burma, but I believe that this must have been a different Alan H Lloyd, possibly the colonel with that name. |

| Always known by her second name, Myvanwy was not recorded in the 1891 census because she was born in the last quarter of that that year.
She attended Cheltenham Ladies College between September 1901 and June 1906.
She trained as a singer but never married.
She did get engaged, but she apparently broke it off.
She used to send us great Xmas presents (Escalado!)
She lived with brother Harold and mother (Mary Lloyd) in Burghclere ("Oxleas") south of Newbury.
I believe that she went to Ann Arbor, Michigan then on to Canada to live with her brother Harold, who also never married. |
