Dorothy Alice WARRE was a member of that landed gentry family which, per Burke's Family Index, last appeared in BLG in the 1921 edition, under "WARRE, (now MURRAY-SMITH) of Westcliff". The entry for the family in BLG 1914 can be viewed online at https://ukga.org/DB/33/blg1914/blg19141985.png, although note that the then Captain and Mrs Pope are incorrectly shown there as having married on 16 July 1909; Free BMD shows that the marriage was, in fact, registered in Kensington in Q3 1907.

Sir Richard Lloyd Bt obituary
City grandee who was the first to introduce free customer banking and was a key figure in the bailout during the financial crisis of 1974
...Though he was the quintessential old school City gent, Lloyd knew that in the long run the Square Mile needed to reform... He exemplified traditional values of integrity and trustworthiness on a handshake, but was also a fierce dealmaker and prodigiously hardworking. He could thus thrive in an environment where things moved faster and were more competitive and harder-edged...
...Richard Ernest Butler Lloyd was born in 1928 in Bolton, Lancashire, where his father was involved in running textiles mills. He was one of five children to Major Guy Lloyd, a director of the textile manufacturer J&P Coats who served as a Unionist (Scottish Conservative) MP for East Renfrewshire for 20 years and was given a baronetcy in 1960. His mother Helen (née Greg) was a scion of the mill owners that founded J&P Coats. Richard was brought up in the village of Gairloch, on the west coast of Scotland and sent to board at Wellington College. As the communist insurgency in the British colony of Malaya unfolded in 1948, he did National Service in the Black Watch. Before he could engage in any operations he was nearly killed by a poisonous snake bite. After his recovery his duties were limited to serving as aide-de-camp to the General Officer Commanding...
...In 1955 he had married Jennifer, née Cardiff, whom he met at a dinner party. She survives him along with their sons: Tim is a retired agricultural surveyor; Simon a former oil company executive and former chief executive of the Royal Forestry Society; and Henry is a former investment banker and civil servant. Lloyd taught his sons to fly-fish on family holidays in Scotland, Wales and Devon. A keen hiker, he was renowned for his ability to walk up hills fast...
Sir Richard Lloyd Bt, banker and City grandee, was born on December 6, 1928. He died on August 13, 2022, aged 93
