Son of John Lloyd, a bleacher at Horwich, Lancashire. His mother was a Wylie of Glasgow. After his parents separated he was brought up by his mother in Clapham. His health was poor and he had little formal education but this did not prevent him becoming a very successful and wealthy businessman particularly through the publishing firm of Nathaniel Lloyd and Co. He also achieved fame as a mountaineer after being introduced to the Alps in 1896 by G.C.Champion, his friend of some forty years.
