Alexander Thomas Tulloh 1798-1885

1798. Alexander Thos Tulloch was baptised 0n 7/9/1798 St Alfege Kent to Lieut.Gen Alexander Tulloch & Maria -Ancestry, image exists

General Tulloh was born in Blackheath in London in 1799 and had a long career in the Army. He was in India for many years I believe and in 1862-63 he was a Director of Ordnance. According to his obituary in the local newspaper of 2nd May 1885:

"This gentleman's military career commenced at the West Indies. Subsequently he was appointed to the control of the powder magazine at Waltham Abbey, Essex and later principal of the carriage department at Woolwich Arsenal. It should further be stated that his disciplinary ability and scientific attainments were considerable and that he was promoted to the post of Inspector General of the Ordnance Board, which appointment, however, ill health compelled him to resign."- Diana Walker, present owner of Tannachie

He lived in Dominica at one point and married the daughter of an english doctor Margaret Isabella Bremner, daughter of the Hon William Bremner, President of HM Council of Dominica. : Margaret Isabella Tulloch died 11/9/1826 aged 23 and is buried at the Savannah, Roseau in Dominica. " We hope to have sufficient time ashore there to visit the burial ground and see whether we can find her grave but I understand that site is in a very poor condition."- Diana ch.6d.& an email . Henry Bowyer Tulloch , 21, colonial secretary and 2nd son of Lieut. Col Tulloch of the RA - likely brother to Alexander - died in 1823 and Margaret is buried alongside him

1865. He built Tannachie, situated just to the W of Malvern. The house is High Victorian.  It has the Tulloh coat of arms above the front door, but this has a bishop’s mitre to which the family is apparently not entitled.  There was a thirteenth century Tulloh who was a bishop and the coat of arms has been used by the Tullohs since then.
