John Bathurst Deane

John Bathurst Deane (27 August 1797 – 12 July 1887) was a clergyman, schoolmaster, antiquary, and author.

Born at the Cape of Good Hope in 1797, Deane was the second son of Captain Charles Meredith Deane, of the 24th Light Dragoons, and was educated at Merchant Taylors' School, which at that time was in the City of London, and at Pembroke College, Cambridge. On 19 July 1816 he was baptised at St Mary's Chapel, Parish of St Swithin's, Walcot, Somerset, and matriculated at Cambridge a few weeks later, graduating BA in 1820, promoted to MA in 1823. He was ordained a deacon at Exeter in 1821 and a priest in 1823. From 1836 to 1855 he was a schoolmaster at his old school, rising to head of mathematics, and for part of that time was also curate of St Benet Fink and of St Michael's, Wood Street. In 1855 he was appointed as Vicar of Bishopsgate, London, and Rector of St Helen's, Bishopsgate, with which parish St Martin Outwich was combined in 1874. He kept these benefices until 1887.

On 15 June 1822 he married Caroline Lemprière, the daughter of John Lemprière, at St Nicholas's church, Shaldon, Devon. She died at the age of twenty-seven.

On 22 March 1834, Deane married secondly a Miss Louisa Elizabeth Fourdrinier, of Tottenham, and they had thirteen children, including Hugh Pollexsen Deane (1837), Henry Allen Murray Deane, Walter Meredith Deane (1841), Mary Deane, Sophia Deane, Eleanor Deane, Emmeline Deane, and Augusta Deane. His father-in-law, Sealy Fourdrinier (1773–1847) and his older brother Henry (1766–1854) had invented the paper machine, but had gone bankrupt in developing it.
