Biographical Notes

Hide Details Note: William Carey, a qualified doctor, and his bride Rebecca Kauntze Carey 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 developed breast cancer, and William 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.
