Sir Cecil Bisshopp, 10th Baronet

Sir Cecil Augustus Bisshopp, 10th Baronet (6 July 1821 - 19 January 1849) was an English clergyman, active in Malta, Jerusalem and in England. He was the son of George Bisshopp, the Dean of Lismore in Ireland, and succeeded to the baronetcy on the death of his father in 1844.
Life
In January 1843, Bisshopp married Mary Ann, the eldest daughter of Rear-Admiral Sir James Hillyar. In December 1846 his frail health forced him to resign his vicarage, proceeding to Malta. His tomb (made of Italian marble) is located in the Msida Bastion Historic Garden, in Floriana, Malta. His wife was pregnant when he died and the following month gave birth to a daughter, Mary Cecil Augusta Bisshopp.
