Personal Life
Marie Lloyd was married three times. Her spouses were:
- Percy Charles Courtenay (12 November 1887–1905) (divorced; 1 child)
- Alexander Hurley (1905 – 6 December 1913) (his death) (separated, 1910)
- Bernard Dillon (21 February 1914 – 7 October 1922; her death)
Her private life was also controversial. Her first marriage to Percy Courtenay was a stormy one and ended in divorce in 1905. She quickly married Alec Hurley the next year and in 1910 met Irish jockey Bernard Dillon. She first appeared in the USA in 1897, but she was refused entry in 1913 for "moral turpitude" when "Mr. and Mrs. Dillon" arrived together, but unmarried. After an enquiry, she was allowed to stay. Alec Hurley died two months later, and Marie and Dillon were married at the British Consulate in Portland, Oregon, on 21 February 1914.
