The Family of Edward Lloyd (1815-1890)

Nigel D H Lloyd

Abstract
Edward Lloyd, the well-known nineteenth century publisher and newspaper proprietor, was my great great grandfather. His role in bringing cheap literature to the masses, working to reduce or eliminate the Stamp Tax, and building a hugely successful newspaper empire through technological and marketing innovation, has been well documented by others (1-3). This article focuses on the great man’s private life and family, and addresses some of the issues which have been raised by these authors.
