LLOYD, Henry d.1891

Born Gloster, Ireland, son of Colonel John Lloyd, Deputy Lieutenant of King's County: educated in Queen's County and at Belfast where he served an apprenticeship in a leading mercantile firm. Deciding for an agricultural life emigrated to New Zealand, setting page 154 out from Ireland about end of 1858, perhaps visiting Australia on the way as reputedly arrived Auckland 1860 and bought land at the Wade, out of Auckland, and farmed there. Was Kaipara representative in the Auckland Provincial Council 1873–75, Chairman of the Wade Highway Board, member of the County Council, Justice of the Peace and County Coroner. Believed gold to be in North Auckland and apparently spent a lot of time looking for it. His pen and ink drawings and his watercolours show that he was fascinated too by the New Zealand bush. Father of artist Trevor Lloyd. Exhibited Society of Artists, Auckland 1873 pen and ink drawings and watercolours, mainly of bush subjects.
