Edward Ilsley
Mcinally, Mary
This biography traces the life of Edward Ilsley from his childhood in Stafford and school days at Sedgley Park, through training for the priesthood at Oscott College, mission priest, then rector at Olton, to Auxiliary in 1879, Bishop in 1888, Archbishop in 1911 and death in 1926. He was involved in every aspect of the diocese for the 47 years of his episcopate, and his story is also that of Birmingham at a period of rapid growth and pioneering civic development, in which the Roman Catholic community played a major part.
