Wilson Lloyd (3 September 1835 – 4 September 1908)[1] was a British iron founder and a Conservative Party politician who twice sat in the House of Commons between 1885 and 1895.
Lloyd was the son of Samuel Lloyd (1795-1862), known as "Quaker Lloyd", and his wife, the abolitionist Mary Honychurch Lloyd. His father had developed the Old Park Ironworks at Wednesbury and by the mid-19th century, Messrs. Lloyds Foster and Co. was the town's leading ironworks, employing 1200 men. The family sold the Ironworks in 1867,[2]
Lloyd became a J.P. and an Alderman. He was elected as the Member of Parliament (MP) for Wednesbury at the 1885 general election,[3] but lost the seat in the 1886 election.[4] He was Wednesbury's second Mayor from 1888 to 1890.[2] At the 1892 general election, he was elected again as MP for Wednesbury,[5] but he did not stand again at the 1895 general election.[4]
