Thornton Arnott Lewes, 14 Apr. 1844 - 10 Oct. 1869, was the second son of George Henry Lewes, and "stepson" of the novelist Mary Ann Evans (George Eliot).  He attended school at Bayswater Grammar, then, from Aug. 1856, Hofwyl, near Bern, where he learned French and German.  In 1860, he moved to the High School of Edinburgh, to prepare for a career in the India civil service, which never happened (http://books.google.com/books?id=G08FAAAAQAAJ).  As a result, he left for (or, was packed off to) Natal on 16 Oct. 1863.  He returned to London in May 1869, where he died from tuberculosis of the spine, contracted in Natal (http://books.google.com/books?id=TTM1AAAAMAAJ).

"Thornie" was already collecting stamps in 1859 (Rebecca Mead, My Life in Middlemarch); Pemberton had begun collecting in the same year.  His older brother Charles Lee Lewes (1842-1891) was a clerk for the Post Office, London, from Aug. 1860 to Oct. 1886 (http://books.google.com/books?id=_IVmAAAAMAAJ).

This may be worth investigating: Yale Univ., Guide to the George Eliot and George Henry Lewes Collection, 1975.  Most of the Yale collection has been published, but not all in one place; see, for ex., Gordon S. Haight, The George Eliot Letters, 7 vols. (New Haven and London: Yale University Press, 1954–55).
