Hello List Susan said: A lead for James Sanderson is that I found he may have been an asst. surgeon and his wife may have worked for the medical service as a nurse. If someone has a listing of asst surgeons I would appreciate any information you may find in a look-up for me. The FIBIS Fibiwiki page Doctor http://wiki.fibis.org/index.php?title=Doctor provides links to the following. James Sanderson is listed as an Assistant Surgeon in the Madras Presidency, appointed 27 October 1836, and in 1842 in the Neilgherry Hills <http://books.google.com/books?id=zwYLAQAAIAAJ&pg=RA1-PA96> http://books.google.com/books?id=zwYLAQAAIAAJ&pg=RA1-PA96 East India Register and Directory 1842.
