Family Tree"...The records of the Royal Artillery show that from April 1873 to April 1876 Graham served with 7 Battery 7 Brigade in Nova Scotia. Lucy travelled with Graham, or joined him a little later, as they were to have three more children born in Nova Scotia: Kathleen in 1874, and twins Henry Augustus and Alice Marguerite in 1875. From April 1876 to March 1880 Graham and the family were in Jamaica and another son, Charles Haldane Creed Lloyd was born there in 1877. On 16th January 1880 Graham was promoted to the rank of Captain in the Royal Artillery and he returned to England in March 1880, several months before the rest of his Unit. On 12th May 1880 Graham was retired with a gratuity, but no pension. We don’t know why he came back early or took early retirement. It might possibly be associated with the cutbacks in the size of the Army in order to reduce military spending or might be connected with the breakdown of Graham’s marriage. The 1881 census shows that Graham, as a retired Captain of the Royal Artillery aged 35, was boarding in one part of Southampton and Lucy was living with twin babies, George ffrench Harford Lloyd and Violet Edith Lloyd in another part of the town. Little Violet died later that year. All Graham and Lucy’s children were brought up by Graham and other members of the Lloyd family."
