William Dallinger

Rev. Dr. William H. Dallinger F.R.S. (July 5, 1839-November 7, 1909) was a minister in the Wesleyan Methodist Church. He was also an accomplished scientist, being the first to study the complete lifecycle of unicellular organisms under the microscope and studying the adaptation of such organisms to temperature. Further, he made numerous contributions to microscopy, and was president of the Quekett Microscopical Club from 1890 to 1892. Dallinger was awarded three honorary doctorates, the Ll.D. from Victoria College, Toronto in 1984, the D.Sc. from Dublin in 1892, and the D.L.C. from Durham in 1896. Dallinger was married to Emma Ion Goldsmith (1842-1910). They had one child, son Percy Gough (1867-1930).
