Family and Death
Tomline had inherited further property before he died of apoplexy at Kingston Hall, near Wimborne, Dorset and his estate was worth £200,000 (£13 million at 2003 prices). He was buried in Winchester Cathedral.
Tomline and his wife had three sons but they relinquished their claim to the baronetcy:
- William Edward Tomline (1787–1836), MP for, successively, Christchurch, Truro, and Minehead.
- George-Thomas Tomline, became Chancellor of Lincoln and prebendary of Winchester.
- Richard Tomline, his third son, became precentor of Lincoln.

Famous quotes containing the words family and/or death:
“If it had not been for storytelling, the black family would not have survived. It was the responsibility of the Uncle Remus types to transfer philosophies, attitudes, values, and advice, by way of storytelling using creatures in the woods as symbols.”
—Jackie Torrence (b. 1944)
“Water, earth, air, fire, and the other parts of this structure of mine are no more instruments of your life than instruments of your death. Why do you fear your last day? It contributes no more to your death than each of the others. The last step does not cause the fatigue, but reveals it. All days travel toward death, the last one reaches it.”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
