He married Anne Wilkenson in 1594 and they had six children who lived to adulthood.[2]
His daughter Anne married Thomas Yale, whose son David was father of Elihu Yale, benefactor of the college now named for him.

He was consecrated as Bishop of Sodor and Man in 1600.[9][10] Although this bishopric was not a lucrative one, and he even commented on the "smallness of the Bishopricke".[2] Despite this, the appointment was a significant promotion and stepping stone to a more prominent position in England. Like most of his predecessors, Lloyd rarely visited the Isle of Man and there is only one recorded visit in 1603 where he attended a Consistory Court where several offenders against the spiritual law were punished.[11] Although Lloyd did have a bishop's palace on the Isle of Man, some twenty miles north of the cathedral at Peel, he significantly refurbished a fashionable townhouse at Watergate Street in Chester.[2]

Bishop of Chester
In 1605 he exchanged the seat of Sodor and Man for that of Chester, the Chester Cathedral and was consecrated in January. A former lecturer at Chester Cathedral, he was tolerant of Puritan views in his diocese.[12] During his tenure as Bishop of Chester, he reversed the anti-Puritan policies of his predecessor Richard Vaughan.[5] In local politics, he opposed Robert Whitby, a nominee of Lord Ellesmere as clerk of the Pentice, who was building a family factional position in the city.[13]
He died 1 August 1615, and was buried in Chester cathedral, where he is commemorated by a mural inscription. In the year of his death he bought Pant Iocyn, near Wrexham, formerly the residence of the Almer family, which remained the home of his family till 1634.
Chester is a walled cathedral city in Cheshire, England, on the River Dee, close to the border with Wales. With a population of 79,645 in 2011, it is the most populous settlement of Cheshire West and Chester, which had a population of 329,608 in 2011, and serves as the unitary authority's administrative headquarters. Chester is the second-largest settlement in Cheshire after Warrington. Chester is also the historic county town of the ceremonial county of Cheshire.
Thomas Morton was an English churchman, bishop of several dioceses. Well-connected and in favour with James I, he was also a significant polemical writer against Roman Catholic views. He rose to become Bishop of Durham, but despite a record of sympathetic treatment of Puritans as a diocesan, and underlying Calvinist beliefs shown in the Gagg controversy, his royalism saw him descend into poverty under the Commonwealth.
Hugh Lupus Grosvenor, 1st Duke of Westminster,, styled Viscount Belgrave between 1831 and 1845, Earl Grosvenor between 1845 and 1869, and known as The Marquess of Westminster between 1869 and 1874, was an English landowner, politician and racehorse owner. He inherited the estate of Eaton Hall in Cheshire and land in Mayfair and Belgravia, London, and spent much of his fortune in developing these properties. Although he was a member of parliament from the age of 22, and then a member of the House of Lords, his main interests were not in politics, but rather in his estates, in horse racing, and in country pursuits. He developed the stud at Eaton Hall and achieved success in racing his horses, winning the Derby on four occasions. Grosvenor also took an interest in a range of charities. At his death he was considered to be the richest man in Britain.
