You're welcome, Matt. I hope you are able to learn more about him.

It's always a good idea to search on name variants but I'm not familiar with the surname Amys and can't think of any obvious variations. Maybe someone else will chime in.

Regards,
Josephine

You could try the Royal College of Surgeons though I don't know whether their records go back that far.

I think also that until the 1800s, they were mostly the barber-surgeons mentioned earlier, and not necessarily 'trained' and certainly not with any university degree as we know of surgeons nowadays.
I'll leave their resultant 'skills' to your imagination.  ::)
