Mr. John Lloyd , Manager of the Nightcaps Coal Mine, was born in 1854, in Radnorshire, Wales. He was educated at Welsh public schools, and was brought up to mining. Mr Lloyd came to Lyttelton by the ship “Waitara,” in 1879, and was employed at Rangitata until 1880, when he was appointed manager of the Nightcaps mine. During the first two years sixteen men were employed in developing the workings, which have all been opened up under Mr Lloyd's direction. As a Freemason, Mr Lloyd joined Lodge Aparima, and afterwards transferred to Lodge Wallace, of Winton. He was married on the 22nd of October 1890, to a daughter of the late Mr John Tudor Jenkins, of West Bromwich, Staffordshire, England, and has three sons and three daughters.
