Tracing Edinburgh University Medical Students from 1905

[Shiny1]

Hi All,

I'm trying to trace William Hawkley Woodger born in 1878 in Newcastle. I know he was a doctor in the city and that he was in the RAMC during WW1. He died in 1921 in Newcastle from malaria which he caught in Egypt during the war.

I know he has medical qualifications from both Edinburgh and Glasgow but I don't how to find out which university he studied at.

He has two from Edinburgh so I'm leaning towards that one but does anyone know if there are any records on line I can find?

Thanks for the help,

Michael

I don't think the records are on-line but you can e-mail them and ask if he attended and if he matriculated (a proportion of students leave without qualifying). I have done that in the past and both universities replied within 10 days or so. Though they may not be able to do that at present obviously.

Thanks very much Elwyn, I'll give that a try.

Thanks very much Don, he doesn't come up on either of them.

I know he also studied at the university of Durham, could they award qualifications from Scottish universities?

Hi Michael 

Definitely not. I think the Scottish Universities would be justifiably annoyed if they had tried

You have this Michael, but just adding this from the 1907 UK Medical Registers on a/try:

Michael, where have you found references to his education at Durham Uni (or do you mean Newcastle from what Don has found)? The S that you see in the above image is in the column for 'Date and Place of Registration'. The S I believe is for Scotland.

I am wondering if he transferred over to finish his studies to Scotland post 1902?
