He was born Frederick William Lloyd in London on 15 January 1880.[2] His parents were the Reverend Frederick Charles Lloyd and his wife Mary Florence, née Cox. Lloyd was married to theatre actress Auriol Lee from 1911 to 1922.[3] He was later married to actress Yvette Plancon from 1925 to 1929.[4] He died on 24 November 1949 at Hove, Sussex, England.
In an obituary in The Times John Gielgud wrote that 'the theatre has suffered a real loss in the death of Frederick Lloyd', adding 'his enthusiasm and charming joviality and his generous attitude toward the young actor-director — for I was a young man when I met him first — is something I shall remember with great affection and gratitude'.[5]
