Historia biográfica
In 1945 Michael Allott of Dublin married Helen Lucia Lloyd of Odellville, county Limerick. On the death of her father, Edward Locke Lloyd, in 1963, the Odellville property passed to the Allotts, who operated a dairy farm on the estate and were founders of the Munster Herd of British Friesians in 1945. They were also active members of the National Farmers’ Association (later the Irish Farmers Association), their local co-operative creamery committee at Glenwilliam and later the Golden Vale Cooperative Creamery Ltd.
The Allott family seat, Odellville, was built in the 1770s by John Fitzcharles Odell and passed to the Morony family through the marriage of Helen Mary Odell to Edmund Morony in 1860. Their elder daughter, Eliza Helena, married in 1884 her cousin, Henry Vereker Lloyd Morony, on whose death the property passed to his only child, Helen Mary Matilda Morony. The property passed to the Lloyd family through her marriage to Edward Locke Lloyd of Heathfield, county Limerick, in 1917.
