Lloyds Ltd. Builders and Joinery Factory, cnr. Fenton St. and Te Ngae Rd. 1918, Cyril Rankin Lloyd, a trained builder from Wellington, worked at building Rotorua’s King George V Hospital for returned soldiers of W.W.I. He himself had been a sapper with the N.Z. Engineers, France. 1918 he married in Rotorua Annie Kane Burns, born 1895 Dundee, who came to Rotorua from Scotland with her mother Harriet Burns who now owned a Boarding House. Harriet boarded a constable William (Bill) Neil whom she married, he becoming step-father to Annie. Annie and C.R. Lloyd had one offspring, Gordon, 1919.
1947, Gordon Lloyd, after W.W.2 with the Airforce, married Joyce Patchell who came to Rotorua as a District Nurse. Their two sons, Warwick and John, as little boys seemed overawed by the tall imposing William Neil whom they called Grand-dad, which was not surprising considering his police background.
