Surgeons - lookup request
« on: Sunday 24 April 16 00:24 BST (UK) »
In the unlikely chance that anyone has access to this book:

Eighteenth-Century Medics (subscriptions, licences, apprenticeships)
Newcastle-upon-Tyne: PHIBB, second edition, 1988
Authors: P. J. & R. V. Wallis (with J. G. L. Burnby & T. D. Whittet).
ISBN 1-871768-00-4

I would very much appreciate a lookup for an Edward Field. I don't have a DoB for him, but he was definitely practising as a surgeon apothecary in Hertford in 1796.

Many thanks!

Have you been in touch with the Apothecary Society? I have had success tracing ancestors with links to other livery companies.

I am Australian, from all the lands I come (my ancestors, at least!)

Pine/Pyne, Dowdeswell, Kempster, Sando/Sandoe/Sandow, Nancarrow, Hounslow, Youatt, Richardson, Jarmyn, Oxlade, Coad, Kelsey, Crampton, Lindner, Pittaway, and too many others to name.
Devon, Dorset, Gloucs, Cornwall, Warwickshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire, Wilts, Germany, Sweden, and of course London, to name a few.

Thanks for the link, I'll do that - hadn't occurred to me as he wasn't in or from London, but definitely worth a try.
