Hi,

John was born before Elizabeth's marriage and is registered in the birth registers of 1852 as John Lloyd.
Elizabeth was widowed when she married John Griffiths and she seems to have had at least one child with her first husband. This child William Lloyd is with her in the 1871 census aged 27. Also with Elizabeth Griffiths is her 18 year old son John Lloyd, who was born in Ince. The address is Low Green Road, Hindley. Elizabeth is listed as married and William as "wid". I don't know whether the enumerator got things the wrong way round, but I do know that sometimes widows were still listed as married.
I am practically certain that this is "your" John. I couldn't find him at first glance in 1861, but I know that there are gaps in this census.
