Hallo :) My Henry Heath's grandson, John Henry Heath, was born and lived in South Africa.  On his death notice his occupation is given as:  doctor.  It is unlikely that he would have been able to study medicine in South Africa at that time.  And if he studied abroad, it would have most probably been somewhere close to where his grandfather stayed, which was Northfleet, Kent. Does someone know where the closest school in medicine would have been in about 1835? Kind regards Sunelia Heath
