Hi

The UK Medical Registers indicate he was well qualified by 1911, the census only indicates where a person stayed on the night of the census and not necessarily where a person lived. He could have simply been doing a course of some sort. His address in the 1919 & 1927 register is West African Medical Service.
He would likely have had quite lengthy leave each year which would account for his various trips between Gold Coast & England. You should be able to work out his comings and goings from passenger lists.
Its likely that their daughter eventually went to boarding school in England, this was quite common.

Good Morning Trevor & Andy, I his marriage from an announcement in the BJM I have got mixed up his father married in N.Z. so you are right Andy.   A bit of background, M.B. comes from 3 generations of Doctors,  His Grandfather my 3 x Grt Grdfth William Hay b1804 was a Surgeon/Medical Practioner in Eskdalemuir,Dumfries for upwards of 50 years, intresting bit of info the poor man was thrown from his horse and suffered spinal injury to his neck death 1879.  M.B.s Father Thomas Bell Hay son of William was b1836 Eskdalemuir,Dumf. he qual. as doctor 1866 in England and then went to N.Z. where he married Emily Williams and they had 2 kids M.B. and Emily Mary.  T.B. died N.Z. 19/8/1879.

The  add. M.B. is at on 1911 census is I think a hospitalas all other persons on it are patients.  It also states occ. medical practioner colonial officer.

sorry it was crisane whofound the marriage not Andy.
Over to you.
