• Notes

  Since Herbert was the son of Francisca Lloyd and Alicia Lloyd the daughter of James Lloyd (Francisca's brother) and Mary Howard, the couple were first cousins. It may be assumed that Herbert accompanied his family to Kimberley in the diamond rush. He married there and his 3 children were born there.His activities in Kimberley are unknown but he was in Bulawayo and served in the Matabeleland Mounted Police and as a Lieutenant in 'G' Troop, Bulawayo Field Policie. In 1896 he was awarded a medal for operations in Matabeleland and resigned from the police in 1896 having attained the rank of Sub Inspector. he was killed near Klerksdorp on 22.8.1901 while on active service as a Sergeant/Scout in the Imperial Light Horse, D Squadron. Parkin's occupation prior to enlistment was hotel keeper.
