Hi Helen There is a book which might be of help as it has names taken from various records relating the medical profession by the Newcastle upon Tyne : Project for Historical Bibibliography. It is called Eighteenth century medics (subscriptions, licences, apprenticeships) by P.J. and R.V. Wallis with the assistance of J.G.L. Burnby and the late T.D. Whittet (1988) ISBN/ISSN 1871768004 I saw a copy at the SOG but you should be able to get it through interlibrary loan if it isn't available locally. All the best Regards Maureen Bowler Caerphilly, South Wales <Mmbowler1@aol.com
