'James Cameron Todd was born in on the 13th October 1863 in Rangoon, British Burma (now called Yangon, Burma) to a father by the same name. James Cameron Todd. He attended the Royal High school, Edinburgh from 1874 to 1881 and Glasgow University from 1881 to 1884 where he graduated with a B.Sc. degree having been a pupil of Lord Kelvin. He move to South Africa and in 1887 was ordained deacon by the Bishop of Bloemfontein. He was curate of Vryburg, Bechuanaland in 1887 and curate of Kimberley, Griqualand from 1887 to 1888. In 1888 he was admitted to Christ College, Cambridge having obtained a scholarship and took his M.Sc. degree which he gained with first class honours and was subsequently elected Scholar of the College the following year. In 1890 he was ordained priest in St. Paul’s Cathedral and took up the post of Curate at St John’s Hammersmith in 1891. He moved to Natal 1894 as Chaplain to Bishop Baynes, became Diocesan Theological tutor (1894-1899) and was appointed Canon of Natal (1894-1904). In 1896 he founded Michaelhouse in Loop Street, Pietermaritzburg. When he opened the doors on the first day in August 1896 it was as a private venture with 15 founding boys. Ten of these were boarders and five were day boys. It is said that without Todd, Michaelhouse would never have been born. While the school was in Pietermaritzburg Todd worked to establish the school as the Diocesan College of Natal with its own Board of Governors. He also looked for a suitable country site to relocate the school away from the distractions of town and in 1901 the school moved to its premises in Balgowan. In 1903 Todd resigned as Rector. He had ordered a piano without the approval of the board and as this was a substantial expenditure which required the boards approval a dispute ensued which culminated in Todd’s decision to leave Michaelhouse. Todd returned to England 1904 and where he became engaged in literary and Educational work in London. He wrote a number of books including ‘Politics and religion in Ancient Israel’ and while holding no ecclesiastical position, he was in great demand as a preacher among the famous London Churches where he preached at St James Picadilly and the Temple Church. He was sympathetic to the cause of the Suffragettes, in spite of certain opposition from the Church, and at filled St George’s Bloomsbury gave a memorable sermon at the funeral of Emily Davidson (the Suffragette who threw herself in front of the King’s horse at the Derby). He was owner and headmaster of Netherfields School at Crouch End London, where he met his future wife who was on the staff. In 1911 he sold the school and went to Canada where he married Ailee Mary Gallaher in St George’s Cathedral Montreal. On their return to England the couple started a preparatory school (Kelvin House School) in Ruislip, London. In 1912 his first daughter Jean was born followed in 1914 by Margaret. Todd died in 1915 aged 51 and is buried in Ruislip Cemetary.'
