Biography

Dr Mariano Martin de Bartolomé, was born at Segovia, Spain, and came of an old Castilian family. His father was Governor of the province, and in the troublous political times his family were driven out of the country in 1832. Before arriving in England he spent some time in exile in Jersey, and there met and married Miss Mary Parker, a Sheffield lady, and it was through this marriage that his association with the city was brought about. He went to Edinburgh to study medicine and graduated there as a Doctor of Medicine in 1837. The following year he returned to Sheffield as a medical practitioner, joining the staff of the Dispensary (which later became the Royal Hospital) in 1840. From 1846 Dr Bartolomé was attached to the Infirmary as a physician, a role which continued for forty-three years, and at the same time to the Medical School, of which he subsequently became President. He was also a prominent Sheffield Freemason. In 1848 he was granted British citizenship. His first marriage was childless, but after the death of his wife he remarried in 1860, his second wife being Mary Jackson - one of their sons becoming Admiral Sir Charles Bartolomé, one-time 3rd Sea Lord. Due to ill health Bartolomé resigned from the Infirmary in May 1889. Following his death in June 1890 he was interred at Ecclesfield Churchyard.
