Biography
Barlow was born in Dublin[4] and educated at Blackrock College before going into his stepfather's business.[5] Later he went to Australia to be Secretary to his friend George Henry Stanton, the first Anglican Bishop of North Queensland.[6] Ordained deacon in 1881[7] his first position was as a curate at Mackay.[8] After he was ordained priest in 1882, he held incumbencies at St Paul's, Charters Towers 1882-1885, and at St James's Pro-Cathedral,[9] Townsville 1886-1891.[10] He was a missionary priest 1885-1886, and was in 1887 made honorary Canon, before succeeding Stanton as Bishop of North Queensland in 1891.[11][12] He received the degree Doctor of Divinity (DD) the same year, after he was nominated bishop.
Barlow was consecrated an Anglican bishop on 25 July 1891. He was translated[13] to Goulburn in 1902, with his election on 28 January[14] and installation on 23 April.
He died on 30 August 1915, shortly after retiring on 31 March, and is buried at Mulwaree.[15][16] A street in Townsville is named in his memory.[17]
