Ware states in his History of Ireland, that — Bishop William Lloyd was born at Penhwnllys, in the island of Anglesea, in Wales (the Mona of the ancients: [The Isle of Anglesea (in Welsh) is called Mon, and the Isle of Man, Monaw (or Mon of the Waters); whilst Anglesea is sometimes designated by the Welsh poets, as Mon Fynydd or Mon of the Mountain. The Romans called both Anglesea and the Isle of Man, Mona; but the natives of the latter island called it Mannin, hence the English name of Man. It was further known the Romans by the names of Monoeda, Monabia, and Eubonia.] but was educated in the University of Dublin, of which he afterwards became a Fellow. In 1683 he was made Dean of Achonry and Chantor of Killala, from whence he was promoted to the sees of Killala and Achonry, by letters patent dated the 28th of February, 1690, and consecrated in Christchurch, Dublin, August 23rd, 1691, by Francis, Archbishop of Dublin, assisted by the Bishops of Kildare, Killaloe, and Clonfert. He died in December, 1716. William Lloyd, Bishop of Killala, had a son born at Wrexham on February 24th, 1691, and a daughter, Susan, also born there June 3rd, 1693. The Penhwnllys family seem to have been Hughes; and one of them married a Lloyd.
