English, Thomas
Born in Co Tipperary 11 September 1812. Details of education unknown. Studied at St John's College Waterford. Ordained at Waterford in 1842, exact date unknown. He worked for many years in the Irish diocese of Waterford and Lismore, and was parish priest of St Mary's Clonmel when he resigned in 1874 to go to the Maitland diocese as a missionary. His first appointment was to the staff of the Sacred Heart College Maitland as its second Rector (1877-80), following which he replaced Denis English in Gunnedah (1880-1886). He was vicar general of the diocese in 1880 when Bishop James Murray was on a visit to Europe. When Gunnedah was transferred to the Armidale diocese he moved to Murrurundi (1886-1892), and finally Muswellbrook (1892). He died on 29 September 1895 at Muswellbrook, and was buried at Campbell Hill cemetery, Maitland following a Requiem Mas at Muswellbrook earlier on the same day.
