Robert Ashington Bullen B.A., Rector of Little Stukeley: patron, Alwyn Bishop of Ely.<br /><br />Born at St. George’s, Bermuda, he had but a short acquaintance with his birthplace, his parents returning to England with their children when he was only 6 years old. That he retained a love for his birthplace is shown by his making a special expedition to the Bermudas and subsequently publishing a very interesting account of the geology of the group. R. A. Bullen settled with his parents on the south coast and was sent to a private school at Gosport, where he received his early education, and acquired a love for the sea and of Natural History which he never lost. It was originally intended that he should be prepared to enter the Civil Service, but by the force of circumstance he became instead a schoolmaster and continued his own studies privately, taking his B.A. in London University in 1873. He continued teaching after he was ordained in 1875; indeed, until 1883, when he became a curate. On December 19, 1855, he married Miss Lloyd, daughter of Mr. Edward Lloyd of Westminster. The couple had one son and two daughters. With influence of Sir Joseph Prestwich, Mr. Bullen took up and carried out a most valuable series of researches, which continued until 1911, in many localities where fossil land and freshwater Mollusca could be met with, and especially those associated with the remains of early Man. His papers on fossil Mollusca of Mallorca, Cataluna and the Bermuda Islands merit special attention. He joined the Geological Society in 1891, the Geologists’ Association in 1893, the Malacological Society in 1897, the Linnean in 1899, and the Zoological Society in 1911 He was a Fellow of the Royal Astronomical Society and a member of the Selborne Society and the South-Eastern Union of Scientific Societies<br /><br />She [Annie Maria Lloyd] married in December 1885, at age 32, the Rev. Robert Ashington Bullen, who was at the time the Curate of St Margaret’s, Westminster (57). They went on to have four children (One boy, three girls), and she passed away in 1918 at age 64 in Hilden Manor, Tonbridge, Kent (37), leaving an estate of £68,000. <br /><br />Obituary published by Geological Society<br /><br />Reverend Robert Ashington<br />Bullen, late of Hilden Manor, Tonbridge, in the county<br />of Kent (who died on the 14th day of August, 1912,<br />
