My ancestor, Richard Lloyd, died in Wellington in 1809 aged 57 giving a baptism of around 1752.  Looking on family search between 1751 & 1753, there are several candidates (only one in Shropshire & not in Wellington ) but how do I know which one is him.

Does anyone have any tips on sorting the right one or am I back as far as I can go?  Any help appreciated.

Did he leave a will, that might give some clues about any siblings, also did he have an obituary in any local/national newspapers or was his death mentioned in a Parish Newsletter? 

The other method is to build up families for all possible births you have found to prove that they aren't your RL, this will be time consuming but may payoff in the future by helping you eliminate other Lloyds as being  from a different family group.
