  Biography of Thomas Barlow 1810 - 1880 Thomas was the first son and second child of Henry and Ann Barlow. He was born on August 8, 1810 and baptized September 30, 1810 at St. Cuthbert's, Darlington. The first date for which there is information about Thomas is on October 24, 1832 when he married Margaret Dennison, who was probably the daughter of George Dennison and Mary Kell of Coniscliffe. His obituary claims that he began to preach the gospel in his seventeenth year, 1826. In 1835 he wrote a "Letter on Wesleyan Reform and Primitive Methodists' which he published to inform his friends as to why her was joining the later group. He at this point identified himself with the "Wesleyan Association." Thomas lived in Shildon near Darlington from about 1832 until around 1845, He was in Shildon when his first children were born. They were Mary Ann (1833), Thomas Dennison (1835, died in infancy), William Crosby (1837), George (1839), Margaret Jane (1842,died in infancy) Charles Dennison (1845, died in infancy) In 1841, Thomas and Margaret were living in Market Place, Shildon with Henry and Ann, and his sister Elizabeth. His occupation was given as a draper although at the same time he was preaching in the area. By 1845, he was in the Isle of Wight as a teacher for the young people imprisoned in Parkhurst Prison. While at Parkhurst, Thomas and Margaret had three more children, Margarte Matilda and Eliza Jane, twins ( 1845, both died in infancy), Thomas John (1848). He then went on to serve as minister in many locations. Norwich from 1851 to 1854 (Norfolk Street, according to the Norwich Directory) Leicester from 1854 to 1855 London no. 3 circuit from 1855 to 1858. In 1857, he was recognized as a minister of the United Churches (the Methodist Free Church). He served in Macclesfield from 1858 to 1860. During this time, Margaret died on December 31, 1858 at the age of 49. Again in London no 3 circuit from 1860 to 1861. London no2 circuit from 1861 to 1863. (Poplar, Bow, Old Ford, Row Common) Cardiff from 1863 to 1864. St Austell from 1864 to 1866. London no 3 circuit form 1866 to 1875. (Spitalfields, Mile End, St. Georges, Limehous.) Assistant Book Steward 1867 to 1870. Book Steward 1871 to 1874. Retired 1874/75. At some point in time, Thomas was remarried to Mary Ann Kay, mother of Hildreth and Alfred Kay. Thomas was at the heart of a huge controversy which split the Methodist Church in the 19th Century. the Barlows who stayed in Darlington were very active in the Quaker Society, abandoning the Methodist Church. In 1872, he lived at 3 Upton Place, Commercial Road East. In 1873, the book room was at 15 Creed Lane. Thomas lived at that address at that time. In 1874, the book room was at 119 Salisbury Square, Fleet Street, E. 2 and this was Thomas' address. In 1876, he was at 311 Commercial Road with Hildreth Kay, surgeon. This was the same from 1877 to 1879 but in 1880, Thomas was living at 190 Green St. Victoria Park (Bethnal Green) with Alfred Kay, surgeon (recorded as living there from at least 1873). Thomas dies at 190 Green Street on June 29th 1880 aged 69, from granular degeneration of kidneys, acute nephritus and uraemia, certified by H. Kay M.R.C.S. He was buried at Ilford Cemetery in the presence of many who had assembled to show their respect for his character and services. He was said to be courteous in demeanour, conscientious in duty, devout, intelligent and faithful. His last, or nearly last words, were said to be, "I am qute ready." His death was recorded in the minutes of the United Methodist Free Church for 1880. His final illness was said by this obituary to have been intensified by the journey of considerable length which he insisted on making. His death was reported by his youngest son, Thomas John, of 5 McDonald Road Villas, Forest Gate.
