Sir Thomas Isaac Birkin, 1st Baronet {{post-nominals|country=GBR|JP|DL}} (15 February 1831 – 16 January 1922) was a Nottingham lace manufacturer.

Early life

He was born on 15 February 1831, the second son of Richard Birkin (1805-1870), who founded the family lace-making business.[1][2]

Career

After his father retired in 1856, his sons Richard Jr and Thomas took over, until Richard Jr retired in 1862, and Thomas was in sole charge.[2]

By 1898, the business had been split into two companies, Birkin and Co (fancy lace), and T. I. Birkin and Co (lace curtains), both headquartered at Broadway, Nottingham.[2] They had expanded internationally, with large factories in Saxony and Chester, Pennsylvania, US.[2]

Birkin was a magistrate, and a Deputy Lieutenant of Nottinghamshire, of which he was the High Sheriff in 1892.[2] He was a director of the Great Northern Railway.[2]

Personal life

He married Harriet Tebbutt, on 9 October 1856, and they had nine children:

  • Sir Thomas Stanley Birkin, 2nd Baronet (1857-1931)
  • Sir Alexander Russell Birkin, 4th Baronet (1861-1942)
  • Lt-Col Richard Leslie Birkin (1863-1936)
  • Harriet Maud Birkin (1864-1951)
  • Colonel Charles Wilfred Birkin (1865-1932)
  • Hilda Mary Birkin (1868-1926)
  • Major Philip Austen Birkin (1869-1951)
  • Major Harry Laurence Birkin (1872-1951)
  • Ethel Lillian Birkin (1874-1972)

He died on 16 January 1922,[1] and is buried in the grade II listed Birkin Mausoleum, a small classical temple built in 1921 of Portland stone in Wilford Hill Cemetery, West Bridgford, Nottingham.[3]
