Hello Patricia
I have a little information on this Tomlin family, mostly from the researches of Oliver Marshall in his "English, Irish and Irish-American Pioneer Settlers in Nineteenth-Century Brazil" (University of Oxford - Centre for Brazilian Studies, 2005). The family is listed in his tabulation in Appendix 3 of all the British immigrants in the colonies of Príncipe Dom Pedro, Cananéia and Assunguy that Marshall could identify. Though he does not identify which colony they were in.
In the absence of any official British or Brazilian records of these immigrants, Marshall has searched alternative sources (British consular correspondence, Parlilamentary reports, newspapers etc). The two references given for the Tomlin entry are:
1) Foreign Office file FO 128/100 in the National Archives (I have already looked at **/99, but not this volume, though will happily do so on my next visit there;
2) "The Times" of 15 Oct 1873 (I will check this out over the coming days).
The family seems to have consisted:
Edward born c1843
Emily botn c1845
Frederick born c1866
Arthur born c1868
Walter born c1871
Charles born c1873 (Brazil)
and the hint of another Brazilian-born shild
They seem to have been in Brazil only from 1872 to 1873 or possibly 1874 and it may be that they stayed in Rio de Janeiro, and had the good fortune not to have got as far as one of the agricultural colonies. It is noted that they returned to England.
I have been researching the registers of the Anglican Church in Rio de Jnaeiro, and I can confirm that Charles is not in the baptismal register; I will check the British consular registers of births at GRO.
