Rev. Edward Aislabie Ommanney

The portrait below has recently been made available by the National Portrait Gallery.


A number of other Ommannies are in their collection but not yet digitised. These include Honoria Catherine Ommanney and three more shots of Francis Downes Ommanney. I don’t know what their timetable is but it looks like they are working their way through them. If they are doing it alphabetically, we might expect them very soon.

BA (1827) / MA (1831) Exeter College Oxford

Later Prebendary of Wells Cathedral (1848) and Rural Dean of Chew Magna (1850).
On 15 July 1841 he married Anna Catherine de Hochepied Larpent (20 June 1819 – 14 December 1893) at Wandsworth.
