Right Reverend Tomlinson, from the old Welsh family, visited the St. Saviour’s Grammar School and studied from October 16, 1818 at St. John’s College in Cambridge. In 1820 he founded the Cambridge Apostles, an elitist, intellectual secret covenant at the University of Cambridge, formed based on the Freemasonry Freemasonry. [2] [3] On April 18, 1822, he completed his studies with the Bachelor of Arts, [4] made the Master of Arts in 1826 and finally received a doctorate in theology in 1842.

From 1831 to 1842 he was secretary of the Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge. He started his career as a clergyman as the chaplain of the Bishop of London, then he was a court champion in Sir Robert Peel’s family. From 1832 to 1842 he was a pastor of St. Matthew’s Chapel on the street Spring Gardens in Westminster (London). [5]

On August 24, 1842, he received his ordination in Westminster Abbey and was introduced to his office as “Lord Bishop of Gibraltar in Europe” on November 6, 1842 with a salary of 1,200 English pounds. In April 1843 he went on the trip to Malta, for which he was also responsible, and reached Gibraltar on August 3, 1843, where he has since been in the cathedral of the Holy Trinity (Cathedral of the Holy Trinity) , the diocese of the diocese in Europe. [6] He held this position on February 6, 1863 until his death. He was the first Anglican bishop of Gibraltar and in this function responsible for all members of his faith community living or traveling outside of Great Britain. [7] That is why he was chairman of a church committee in Bad Kissingen around 1860, which had an Anglican church built in the Bavarian State Bad from 1855, which was finally consecrated after seven years of construction and without exception financed by donations in 1862.

Tomlinson married in the first marriage on November 21, 1848 at Eaglescairnie Castle (Lothian (Scotland)) Louisa Stuart (Born October 15, 1815, † September 15, 1850), the oldest daughter of the later general Sir Patrick Stuart (1777–1855) on Eaglescairnie, Großkreuz-Ritter of the Order of St. Michael and St. George and former governor of Malta, and the Catharine-Henrietta Rodney (1791–1870). [8] In the second marriage, he married on January 6, 1855 in the St. James’ district of London Eleanor Jane Mackenzie-Fraser († October 22, 1858), the daughter of Colonel Charles Mackenzie-Fraser (1792–1871), Lord on Castle Fraser and Inverallochy in Aberdeenshire (Scotland), and the Jane hay . [9] The couple moved to Malta, where the three children were born. When Tomlinson died in February 1863, his three small children Eleanor (born March 21, 1856, † April 4, 1944), George (born April 16, 1857) and Mary (born May 10, 1858) became full.

On Malta, Tomlinson serves his service in the capital Valletta in the Procathedral St. Paul, where a memorial is still reminiscent of him today. There is an oil portrait painted by Lowes Cato Dickinson (1819-1908). [ten]

His astronomical and archaeological records are now archived in a special library of the University of Aberdeen. [11]
