774 Morgan Lloyd

Constituency : Beaumaris  1874-85

Morgan  took  over  from  William  Stanley  at  Beaumaris

Morgan  was  a  Methodist   educated  at  a  Calvinistic  college  at  Bala  and  then  at  Edinburgh  University  and  became  a  barrister. He   first  challenged    Stanley  in  1868.  He  said  Wales  needed  to  return  men  "who  understood  the  minds  of  the  Welsh, who  could  think  like  they  did, and  feel  like  they  did, and  therefore  knew  by  instinct  when  a  question  came  before  parliament, how  the  Welsh  people  think  of  it ".

In  1885  Beaumaris  was  abolished  and  Morgan  decided  to  contest  his  native  Merionethshire   despite  the  local  Association  having  selected  Henry  Robertson.  He  attacked  the  Scottish  Robertson  on  nationalist  grounds. He  had  support  from  the  slate  quarrymen  at  Ffestiniog  who  shouted  down  Robertson's  supporters  at  a  public  meeting  but  he  was  still  defeated.

He  died  in  1893  aged  71.
