Tanner was the son of Thomas Tanner, secretary to the Army Medical Board.
Tanner began medical studies at King"s College London, in 1843, and graduated at Saint Andrews University as doctor of medicine in 1847.
He received the greater part of his education at Charterhouse School. There he met with a serious accident, which affected his health for a number of years. He then went into general practice in Charlotte Street in London, and was shortly afterwards elected physician to the Farringdon Street dispensary.
In 1851 Tanner was elected physician to the Hospital for Women in Soho Square, and concentrated on gynæcology, though also lecturing on forensic medicine at the medical school attached to Westminster Hospital.
In 1858 he took part in the foundation of the Obstetrical Society of London, and became one of its first secretaries. Tanner was selected to fill one of these posts, and Alfred Meadows the other.
He resigned the under the pressure of increasing work, in 1863. Tanner acquired a large practice, but was unable to cope with the workload.
He left London, and died at Brighton on 7 July 1871.
