| Biographical data |
| Name: Tomlinson, William Henry Bedford |
| Born: 14 Dec. 1831 |
| Died: 5 June 1898 |
| |
| Notes: |
| The Leeds Mercury of 13 May 1872 (p.3) has 'W.W.B. Tomlinson'. The 'W. and B. Tomlinson' in the Era of 12 Jun. 1870 (p.5) is probably also an error for 'W.H.B. Tomlinson'. |
