(Ron Lloyd, Oct 2020) This convict William Lloyd was my great-great grandfather. His and Frances Jane's daughter, Sarah Ann, was my great grandmother. Sarah married George Sugden while still a teenager in 1871 but he died 2 years later, though they produced a child, Frances. She married again in 1876 to John Holzberger in Gladstone. John (or Johan) had arrived as a 2 year old with his family in Sydney from Germany aboard the "Caesar" in 1855. Sarah and John had 9 children, of whom William Henry, born in Gladstone in 1882, was my grand father. At some stage (I've found no official record) William changed his surname from Holzberger to his mum's maiden name - Lloyd. He'd done this by 1916 when his dad John died because he is listed among John's "Issue, living" as William Henry Lloyd. I suspect he changed his name during WW I when German names were unpopular. He died in 1926 in Cairns, of pneumonia. Sarah his mum died 4 years later in Nambour while visiting with her son John and daughter-in-law. She was buried in Bundaberg cemetery. William Henry meanwhile had married Elizabeth Keating in Cairns and produced 4 children before his 1926 death, including my dad William Charles Lloyd. William ("Bill") and older brother Walter joined the Australian Imperial Force in 1940, serving with the 9th Division in Tobruk and El Alamein in Nth Africa. Taken prisoners of war in July 1942, they were liberated by US troops in Czechoslovakia in 1945 ("General Patton's boys") and returned safely to Australia. Bill was planning to return to the UK to meet up again with a Liverpool girl he'd got to know in 1940, but instead fell in with my mother Mary Rauch in Port Kembla ... but that's another story.
