  • George Lloyd (1708 – 4 December 1783) was an English Fellow of the Royal Society. George Lloyd was the son of Gamaliel Lloyd, a merchant and manufacturer in Manchester, and his wife, Sarah. He was born in 1708 and took the degree of M.B. at Queens' College, Cambridge in 1731. He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society (F.R.S.) in 1737, being sponsored as "a gentleman well-skilled in mathematical knowledge and natural philosophy".
