Edward Tufnell (bishop)

[1] Tufnell was born on 3 October 1814 in Bath, Somerset[2] and educated at Eton and Wadham College, Oxford.

[3] He was the son of a banker, John Charles Tufnell, and Uliana Ivanova Margaret Fowell, who had a total of eighteen children.

[7] While in Brisbane in 1863, Edward Tufnell commissioned architect Benjamin Backhouse to build the house Riversleigh on North Quay as an investment.

They had two children: Arthur Wyndam Tufnell, who was murdered in India while travelling on a train to Simla; and Ida Mary Uliana Mary Tufnell, who married Henry Arthur Wansbrough, a priest.

Ida was the grandmother of the Benedictine monk and scholar, Dom Henry Wansbrough.
