Edwin Curtis

Ernest Edwin Curtis (24 December 1906 – 15 August 1999) was an Anglican Archbishop in the second half of the 20th century.

From 1937 to 1944 he was chaplain in charge of Rose Hill and Bambous, Mauritius and principal of St Paul's Theological College.

On his return to England he was priest in charge of St Wilfrid, Portsmouth, then vicar of All Saints, in the same city.

After this he was rural dean of Alverstoke[7] before his elevation to the Anglican episcopate in 1966 as Bishop of Mauritius until 1976, when he was succeeded by Ghislain Emmanuel, the first native Mauritian bishop but who died soon after his consecration, and then Trevor Huddleston.

[8] Curtis was consecrated a bishop on All Saints' Day (1 November) 1966, by Michael Ramsey, Archbishop of Canterbury, at Southwark Cathedral.
