Hannington, James ___ 1847-1885 ___ British ___ priest

BIOGRAPHICAL SUMMARY
James Hannington was born at Hurstpierpont, near Brighton. He left school young to join his father's counting house, but then went to study at St Mary Hall. He was ordained deacon in 1874, became curate for St George's Hurstpierpont the following year, and was ordained priest the year after that. In 1882 he travelled to Uganda in the service of the Christian Missionary Society, but had to return early due to illness. Subsequently, in 1884, he was consecrated Bishop of Eastern Equatorial Africa, and visited Palestine on route to Africa. He led an expedition that reached Lake Nyanza in 1885, but was murdered on the orders of the king of Uganda.

IMPORTANT NOTES AND CAUTIONS:
1) The first line of basic information may be incomplete in several ways: some historical figures have different names (titles, pen-names); their birth and death dates may be unknown or uncertain (g - guess, c - circa); similarly, their occupations may be unknown, or they may have had other jobs; and, for early diarists, I've used 'British' a bit too freely. 2) The biographical summary may not be accurate. It was compiled quickly from various sources, mostly on the internet, and the facts were not checked anywhere near as rigorously as they would have been if they'd been intended for publication in a printed form. 3) The journal dates and descriptors (which are in no particular order) must be treated with caution: since I have not examined the diaries myself, the descriptors are only guesses based on bibliographies, anthologies and internet biographies. 4) For the biography and etext links, I have ignored any sites with charges, and I have avoided, wherever possible, those with pop-ups or too much advertising. I have limited myself to providing three etext links where there is some variety between them. 5) For the original manuscript links, I have limited myself to providing a maximum of two (although, for a few diarists, their original diaries are held in more than two places). 6) I have provided the titles - chosen randomly - for up to three printed editions of the diaries.
