A Brief Biography: [See also Wikipedia: Francis Fulford]
Francis Fulford, Canadian Anglican bishop, born in Sidmouth, England, June 3 1803 and died in Montreal, Canada 9 September 1868.
Francis Fulford was the second son of Baldwin Fulford of Fulford Magna, Devonshire, by Anna Maria, eldest daughter of William Adams, M.P. for Totnes, and baptised at Dunsford, 14 October 1804. He was educated at Tiverton grammar school, whence he matriculated at Oxford from Exeter College 1 February 1821, and was elected a fellow of his college 30 June 1824, but vacated his fellowship 18 October 1830 by marrying Mary, eldest daughter of Andrew Berkeley Drummond of Cadlands, Hampshire. Fulford proceeded B.A. in 1827, and M.A. 1838, and was created an honorary D.D. 6 July 1850.
He was ordained a deacon in 1826, and became curate of Holne, Devonshire, afterwards removing to the curacy of Fawley. The Duke of Rutland instituted him to the rectory of Trowbridge, Wiltshire, in 1832, where he resided for ten years, and as a justice of the peace as well as a clergyman commanded respect and conciliated goodwill. In 1841 he accepted the rectory of Croydon, Cambridgeshire, which he held until 1845, when he was nominated by Earl Howe to be the minister for the Curzon Chapel, Mayfair, London. He was First Bishop of Montreal, 1850 till 1868, and in 1859 he was appointed by royal letters patent Metropolitan Bishop of Canada.
