Biographical Notes

Hide Details Note: William, a qualified doctor, and his bride Rebecca left for India soon after their marriage in 1875. William ‎(M.B.Edinburgh University, L.R.C.S. Edinburgh)‎ worked as a medical missionary in connection with the Baptist Missionary Society. He worked at Delhi, Simla, Patna, and Dinapore, retiring in 1892.

During their years in India Rebecca and William had seven children: Martha Rebecca Eva ‎(Lassie)‎, Charlotte, William Henry ‎(Laddie)‎, Ernest Edward, George Gilbert ‎(Bertie)‎, Elsie Mary, and Charles Spurgeon. All of the children but Elsie and Charles attended school in England.

Rebecca, her mother, developed breast cancer, and William, her father, performed a mastectomy on the kitchen table with the servants holding her down--no anaesthetic. She recovered and lived to be 78!

In the late 1800s the family returned to England to live at Hanworth ‎(West London)‎ to a large country house with a paddock. They later moved to Bolingbrook Grove ‎(opposite Wandsworth Common in South London)‎ when William worked as a locum at St. Mary's Hospital in Paddington. The family worshipped at Northcote Road Baptist Church in Battersea, South London.

In the 1891 and 1901 censuses of England I found a Charlotte Carey at Darenth Asylum and School in Darenth, Kent. No birthplace nor relative was given, so I can't be sure she is the right person. The only descriptive word was "Imbecile."

Death 5 April 1879 ‎(Age 12 months)‎ India
