Biography
English Roman Catholic prelate.
In 1823, Ullathorne entered the monastery of Downside Abbey, taking the vows in 1825. He was ordained priest in 1831, and in 1833 went to New South Wales as vicar-general to Bishop William Morris (1794–1872), whose jurisdiction extended over the Australian missions. Ullathorne returned to Britain in 1836, and after another visit to Australia, settled in England in 1841, taking charge of the Roman Catholic mission at Coventry.
On the re-establishment of the hierarchy in England, he became the first Roman Catholic Bishop of Birmingham. During his nearly four decades of tenure at the see 67 new churches, 32 convents and nearly 200 mission schools were built. In 1888 he retired and received from Pope Leo XIII the honorary title of archbishop of Cabasa.
He died on 21 March 1889.
