Early life

Wilbraham Spencer Tollemache was born on 3 October 1807.[1] He was the younger son of Admiral John Richard Delap Halliday (who assumed the surname and arms of Tollemache in 1821)[2] and his wife, Lady Elizabeth Stratford. His eldest brother was John Tollemache.[3][4]

Career

He served in the Rifle Brigade after the Napoleonic Wars and was appointed first lieutenant in 1828.[5] His portrait was commissioned from Alexandre-Jean Dubois-Drahonet by William IV in 1832 and remains in the Royal collection.[6]

Wilbraham was a JP for many years and was appointed High Sheriff of Cheshire in 1865.[7][8]

Family

In 1844 Wilbraham married Anne Tomkinson of Dorfold Hall, Acton, in Cheshire.[3][9] Four of their children survived to adulthood:

  • Julia Anne Elizabeth Tollemache (1845 – 28 December 1931). Julia married Charles Savile Roundell in 1874[10] She was an active historian and wrote a DNB entry for Anthony Browne and a history of Cowdray.[11][12] Charles inherited Dorfold Hall on Wilbraham's death and Julia, in turn, inherited when widowed in 1909.
