BIRNIE, George R.N. *26 May 1819 |
|
George Birnie was appointed assistant surgeon in the Royal
Navy on 7 July 1813
He
was employed as surgeon-superintendent on the
Asia
which departed Cork 6th August 1831 and arrived in Port Jackson on 2nd
December 1831. He was appointed to the female transport
Caroline
which departed Cork 15 April 1833 and arrived in
Port Jackson 6th August 1833. He was employed on the Layton
to Van Diemen's Land and kept a medical journal from 13 August to 16
December 1835 on this voyage.
His last appointment as surgeon superintendent of a convict
ship was to the Blenheim which departed Woolwich 15 March 1837
and arrived in Van Diemen's Land 16 July 1837.
The prisoners transported on the Asia, Caroline and
Blenheim
convict ships were fortunate in that George Birnie was appointed
as surgeon on these vessels. He was not only well experienced but
kind hearted and caring towards his patients -
"The Medico Chirugical Quarterly Review
for January 1840 contains a paper by Dr. Fergusson of Windsor on
the subject of yellow fever; he is at the time discussing the question of contagion:
"In the year 1816, while yellow fever
was raging at Barbadoes, it was my lot, I suppose from being an
old seasoned subject, to be taken with very violent but irregular
intermittent fever. Admiral Harvey invited me to go on a cruise
with him among the islands in the flag ship; and, soon after
leaving Carlisle Bay, yellow fever broke out among the crew. There
were, if I recollect right, seven very bad cases; but Mr. Neale
the surgeon a very sensible and excellent officer, at once
negatived the smallest idea of contagion. The assistant-surgeon,
Mr. Byrne* brought up his cot from the cock pit and slung it in
the sick bay, in order that at all hours he might be near his
patients. Their comrades were allowed the freest access, and the
officers of the ship were encouraged to visit and show them every
attention. The consequences were the happiest, for, although the
cruise lasted several weeks, we did not carry back a single case
of the disease to Barbadoes.
*Note. I write from memory and trust that I do
not mistake his name, for his conduct was beautiful. I know no
better term to express this tribute of my respect and, if in life,
I hope he will accept it. I believe he afterwards sailed with
Captain Basil Hall as surgeon of the frigate he commanded:
Those who have the pleasure of being acquainted
with our fellow townsman, George Birnie Esq., will be at no loss
to recognise him in the foregoing portrait; and it is in no small
degree gratifying, among the conflicts of daily life, to find so
just and pleasing a remembrance of one brother by another in the
same arduous and harassing profession. Long may that gentleman
live to be so appreciated by those who surround him, and
remembered by the friends from whom he has been separated by
time."...The Belfast News 4th February 1840.
George Birnie was on the List of Surgeons of
the Royal Navy who were fit for service in 1841.

|
John Cornthwaite Bowman was appointed
Assistant-Surgeon in October 1834 (The Morning Post 6 October
1834) He was appointed Surgeon Superintendent on the convict
ship Cadet in 1849 (to VDL)
He died in September 1851 - There was a Coroners' Inquest into his
death- On Tuesday 16th September at Mylor, on the body of John
Cornthwaite Bowman aged 37 years, surgeon in the Royal Navy. It
appeared that on Monday, the deceased went out shooting, having
with him two dogs - a large Newfoundland dog, and a kind of
terrier. As some men belonging to Tregew farm were going into the
house to dinner, they saw him near, and after they had entered the
house, heard the report of a gun. On their going out on the farm
after dinner, they found him near a hedge on the farm, lying on
his back, a corpse, the two dogs lying by his side, and resisting
the approach of any stranger. The gun was lying by his side, and
the whole of the right side of his face was so shattered that it
was impossible to recognise a feature. It would appear from the
evidence of the persons who had examined the spot, that the
deceased must have slipped his foot in attempting to get over the
hedge, while holding the gun by the barrel in his right hand, and
that in putting it down hard on the ground to keep himself up, the
concussion must have caused the gun to go off, discharging the
whole contents obliquely into his head through the right jaw and
cheek. The gun was loaded with small shot, some of which were
afterwards extracted from the pique of his cap, which was blown
off at the time of the accident. It was a double barrelled gun,
and the left hand barrel, which did not go off, was found to be
full cocked; so that it is probable the other battel had also been
full cocked. Verdict "accidental death". (The Royal Cornwall
Gazette 19 September 1851) |
|
BOYTER, David, R.N.,*13 June 1810 |
|
David Boyter was included on the
Navy List of 1814
He was on the List of Medical Officer who had served at
War. He was employed as Surgeon on the Hebrus at the capture
of L'Etoile in 1814 when 13 men were killed and 25 were
wounded and was commended by Captain Edmund Palmer for his
care and attention....
He was still on the Hebrus in 1815. One of his assistants
described one of the procedures that took place:
'Twas at the commencement of July, in the delightful summer
of the year 1815 soon after Napoleon's disastrous defeat at
Waterloo, that two British frigates, Hebrus and Pactolus, with
the Falmouth corvette, were assembled at the mouth of the
river Gironde for the avowed purpose of assisting the
royalists to equip and organize themselves in military
parties, that they might be enabled to rise and overthrow the
power of General Clausel, then established at Bordeaux.......Mr.
Boyter, our surgeon, asked me to render some little assistance
in performing the operation upon poor Huntley (for such was our
unfortunate shipmate's name). The poor fellow's jacket was
quickly ripped off, and it was a lamentable spectacle to
behold his mutilated frame; his only words were, "Doctor, bear
a hand." The most stern and iron nerve, I am sure, must give a
momentary shudder, when the surgeon, after having made the
first incision, and drawn back sufficient skin to cover the
stump, grasps the knife with firmness, and cuts determinedly
through the quivering flesh, severing the arteries and muscles
down to the bone; then, I am confident, is the time to try the
wretched sufferer's courage: poor Huntley winced at this
terrible period, but afterwards continued only to mutter, as
before, "Bear a hand, good doctor". Tis a mistake, I doubt
not, to believe the suffering either severe or excessive, in
comparison, when the bone is severed, and the marrow touched
by the saw; but the most courageous heart will flinch when the
arteries are hooked out until the ligatures are fastened. The
operation on his arm was skilfully completed in little more
than twelve minutes, but the agony he suffered was
excruciating when the splinters were extracted from his face
and breast; after which, having a cordial restorative
administered, he was laid in a cot from whence he never rose
again. .....The
United Services Magazine
In the early 1830's David Boyter was employed as
Surgeon Superintendent on the convict ships
Mermaid in
1830 (returned to England on the
Dunvegan Castle in August 1830); Camden in
1831,
Andromeda in
1833 and
Hero
in 1835. He returned to London on the Norfolk in
February 1836. Surgeon
Obadiah Pineo returned on the same vessel.
Early in the year 1836 Dr. Boyter was
appointed agent of emigration to New South Wales on the plan
suggested by Sir Richard Bourke, subject to the
confirmation of the Secretary of State. He was instructed to
proceed to Scotland, and in that country to select mechanics
for emigration to the colony, of the following descriptions,
and in the following proportions: viz., carpenters, one
eighth; joiners one eight; stone masons, one half;
blacksmiths, one eighth; and bricklayers one eight. These
artificers were all to be married men, and accompanied by
their wives and children; the ages of neither of the married
couple to exceed thirty years. ......(112)
The Australian reported that
Dr. Boyter was to offer a passage to Sydney on the following
terms:
Each married couple under thirty years
of age a bounty of £30; Each child above two and under seven
years £5; Each child above seven and under 15 years £10; Each
unmarried daughter above fifteen and under thirty years £15;
any young woman, under the protection of a family above 18 and
under 30 years £15.
This bounty according to the present
rate of passage money in London is perfectly adequate to pay
the whole expense; it may, therefore be considered a free
passage.
Dr. Boyter entertains the fullest
expectations of being able to procure as many respectable
families for Forfarshire and the adjacent counties as will
require a ship of large tonnage for their conveyance; in which
case, a ship of the first class will be brought into the Tay,
and receive every person on board, with all their necessaries
and luggage; and Dr. Boyter will feel bound to proceed direct
to NSW in the vessel himself. As Dr. Boyter has frequently
been in the Colony and made himself fully acquainted with
everything relating to emigration, the whole superintendence
and direction have been entrusted to him. (113)

was fit for service in 1841.

Henry Gordon Brock was the son of James Brock and was born about 1790.
He was appointed assistant surgeon on 24 August 1812
He was appointed assistant surgeon to the
Leander in 1819
Edinburgh Medical and Surgical Journal
July 1825 - On the 1st August, the Senatus Academicus of the
University of Edinburgh conferred the degree of Doctor in Medicine on
the following Gentlemen in number one hundred and forty, after having
gone through the appointed examinations and defended publicly their
inaugural dissertations. Among the graduates was Henry Gordon

Land with 250 convicts of which 150 were embarked from the
Captivity hulk. It was reported in the Hampshire
Advertiser that convict ships had never left Plymouth with so
great a proportion of notoriously desperate characters as the
Argyle. ....'we augur favourably respecting the
issue of her voyage, from the experience of the Medical

Edward Bromley
was appointed Treasurer of the Police Fund and was a Magistrate and a
founder of the Bank of Van Diemen's Land. As President of the Agricultural Society in Van Diemen's Land on 13
August 1823 he gave an
Address to the Agricultural Society
In September 1824 the Sydney Gazette reported the robbery of
Government money from the Bromley's premises. - The large sum of money in
his possession which is always deposited in a strong iron chest, placed for
security in his own bed room. The key of this chest has been invariably
locked up in his bureau, in another apartment on the same floor, at the
other end of the building, and the key of it carried about his person.
Notwithstanding this and other precautions, one or two of the domestics
found means to obtain the key of the chest, by opening the bureau with a
picklock key; and on Sunday morning last while Dr Bromley was from home, one
of them was detected in the act of rifling the chest of its contents. In
attempting to secure the prisoner, Mrs. Bromley had to struggle with him
from the top to the bottom of the the stair case, where he extricated
himself and got clear of with his booty. (SG 30 September 1824)
Edward Bromley was
suspended from his position
of Treasurer of the Police Fund and Naval Officer in October 1824 after it
was found that colonial funds were misappropriated.
His clerk
Bartholomew Broughton
was tried in 1826 for embezzlement of money however was found not guilty of
the charge. Another explanation was put forward in the
Colonial Times
a few years later, however Bromley was held accountable as he had been lax
and incompetent but the degree of his guilt was never established . He
remained in the colony for the next three years. (117) Much of his property
was confiscated and sold in an attempt to replace the missing money. When he
finally returned to England in 1829 to plead his case, he left behind his
wife Sarah and young children.
He was appointed to the guard ship Donegal at Sheerness in September
1829 (118)
On 4th June 1830 Sarah Bromley placed an advertisement in the Colonial
Times, Hobart of the sale by auction of the whole of her household furniture
and farm stock to be held at Montford Cottage, Lower Clyde. She was planning
to proceed to England, however was still in the colony early in 1831(119)

In January 1835 he arrived in Hobart from Sydney on the Syren.
In March 1836 Dr. Bromley returned to England on the Auriga
(120). He died in June 1836.
The article below in The Mercury (Hobart) on 22 February 1938 tells a
little more about the Bromley family -
The great grandchildren of the late Dr. Edward Foord Bromley - Mr. A.
Hawthorn of Augusta Rd and Mrs. E. C. Walshe of Moonah,- form a link with
the early aquatic contests held in Tasmania. Dr. Bromley took part in a gig
race on March 12 1824, from Hobart Town to Kangaroo Point. The prize was a
dinner and Dr. Bromley's crew won.
Previous to settling in Tasmania Dr. Bromley was a surgeon in the Royal
Navy, and in various convict ships. He was later appointed to a civil
position in New South Wales, and in 1819 was appointed first naval officer
at Hobart Town. He became Colonial Treasurer, and held the positions of
president of the Van Diemen's Land Bank and the Agricultural society. His
country residence was Montfort, on the River Clyde at Hamilton. The property
was named after Lord Montfort, Baron of Horseheath, from whom he was
descended . The family traced its descent from Sir Walter Bromleghe of
Bromleghe, County Stafford. Sir Walter Bromleghe lived in the reign of King
John and Sir Thomas Bromley, another ancestor was Lord High Chancellor of
England in 1579. A large area of ground was originally granted Dr. Bromley
at New Town, including the site of St. John's Park. The father of Mr. A.
Hawthorn and Mrs. E.C. Walshe was the late Mr. George Hawthorn who was
shipping master at Hobart for 50 years.
FROM THE COLONIAL TIMES. Aug. 10 1827.
It has been stated to us, that
letters have been received by Dr. BROMLEY, the late Colonial Treasurer
and Naval Officer, with reference to his case, of the most satisfactory
description; even more so than his most sanguine hopes could have
anticipated. We are very happy to hear of it; but we cannot perceive of
how very great an extent these letters can be "satisfactory" The utmost
that we can conceive is, that he is permitted to quit the Colony, on
giving good mid sufficient security, for the amount of the claim on his
funds, about, we believe £4 000 having .already been paid by sales
effected of his property. We know the Doctor offered the security Long
ago to the local Authorities but we are of opinion that they could not
take upon themselves, with any feelings of self justification, to accept
of it, without reference to the Home Government. Therefore, to this
extent, no further can the letters from England be possibly
satisfactory. The case is too important to admit of any thing more. The
defalcation was serious. It was clearly proved to have originated in
carelessly kept accounts; whereby Bromley suffered himself to be
related. Consequently, further excuse or lenity could not in justice be
shown. We pity Dr. Bromley- and always did. We consider him to be a man
more sinned against than sinner. He was too generous, too hospitable,
and too unsuspecting of his situation. But he was careless in the
extreme, and for this even his dearest friends themselves will censure
him. In corroboration of our statement, that the Colonial Treasury chest
was repeatedly plundered while under Dr. Bromley's charge, we have the
dying testimony of one of his own servants. It will be recollected that
man named Piner (Pyner) pardoned through Dr. Bromley's recommendation, went home
with Colonel Sorell, on the Guilford. It appears from accounts
subsequently received, that this man, having committed some depredation
in England, has been tried, convicted, and executed. Previous to his
death, he confessed that he had not only robbed Dr. Bromley, his
generous master, but the Colonial Treasury chest repeatedly ;and this
statement is fully borne out by the further testimony of a female now in
the Colony, who was present at the time. We now again repeat, we hope
Dr. Bromley's letters may be as satisfactory as they are said to be ;
and nothing will ever give us greater pleasure than to have to record
the extrication of that Gentleman from all his embarrassment. (*John
Pyner arrived on the Richmond in 1822)

BROWNRIGG, Thomas *2 March
1824 |
|
Thomas Brownrigg was appointed assistant surgeon 21 March 1814 and
appointed Staff Surgeon Royal Navy
17 July 1817
He was appointed assistant surgeon to the
Leander in 1819.
Thomas Brownrigg was promoted to the position of Surgeon in the
Royal Navy in 1824. Other men promoted at the same time included
Joseph Steret and
Andrew Douglas Wilson (111)
He
was employed as surgeon on the Tortoise to VDL in 1842.
The Tortoise sailed from Plymouth 26 October 1841 and
arrived in Van Diemen's Land on 19 February 1842 with 394 male
convicts.
Thomas Brownrigg died in 1866......Obituary - This gentleman, who died at Keighley
on the 18th inst. was an old surgeon in the Royal Navy, having joined
the service nearly sixty years ago. He had been employed in various
parts of the world, and in early life was at the capture of the City of
Washington, acting with the naval force under Admiral Sir George
Cockburn. He had served in the Baltic, North America, West Indies, East
Indies, China, Australia, and the Pacific For several years he held an
appointment as surgeon to the convict establishment at Bermuda (a naval
depot and station in the Southern Atlantic); and it is believed the last
public appointment he held was that of surgeon-superintendent of the
*Dromedary convict ship when she took out 500 convicts to Tasmania. Of
very retired habits, Mr. Brownrigg was but very little known in the
vicinity where he spent the last few years of his life, but he was held
in high esteem by his old naval friends and messmates, who had the
opportunity of duly estimating his character and worth. Many of these
friends have passed away, and all are hastening to that "bourne from
which no traveller returns," but one of the number still living is thus
permitted to give this little outline of the services of his friend and
messmate, with whom he had been on terms of intimacy for a period of
more than half a century. Mr. Brownrigg was a native of the county of
Westmoreland.....(111)
*George Fairfowl was surgeon on the
Dromedary in 1820.

in 1820.
The Sydney Gazette reported the arrival of the
Eliza- Captain Hunt, with 160
male prisoners, one having died on the passage. The Surgeon Superintendent
Dr. Bryden of the Royal Navy, whose care it will be perceived, by the loss
of only one person must, with that of the Captain and Officers, have been
as diligent as exemplary, and entitled to our best thanks. She sailed from
England on the 15th October, and touched nowhere. He remained in New
South Wales for some months and became President of a Medical Board
assembled by Governor Macquarie to enquire into the state of disease in the
Colony.

BRYSON, Alexander R.N., *17
September 1836 |
|
Alexander Bryson was born in Renfrewshire,
Scotland in 1802 (146). He began his
professional studies at Edinburgh and
continued them at Glasgow where he took his
doctor's degree and was admitted a member of
the Faculty of Physicians and Surgeons. He
also became a fellow of the Royal College of
Physicians, London. He entered the navy as
assistant surgeon in 1827. (145)
He was appointed Assistant Surgeon to the
Castor in 1832 and the Griffon in
October 1832
and spent almost a decade serving off the
coast of Africa.....In 1836 the crew of the
Griffon, on the paying off of the vessel,
testified their gratitude to Alexander Bryson
for his attention to them when in a state of
sickness in the river Gambia, by presenting
him with a full dress coat, epaulette, and
strap, cocked hat, and sword; the latter with
an appropriate inscription. (142).
He was promoted to the
position of Surgeon in 1836 and was on the List of
Surgeons of the Royal Navy who were fit for
service in 1841. He was appointed to the
Salamander and to the
Madagascar in 1841
He was employed as Surgeon Superintendent
on the convict ship Marquis of Hastings
to Van Diemen's Land in
1842. He kept a medical journal from 17 June
to 30 November 1842. He recorded that the
convicts were received at Portsmouth from the
Hulks York and Leviathan - 120 from each, all
apparently in good health. Those from the York
were the first to show scorbutic symptoms -
probably her position off Haslar Creek may
have had some influence in this. Two prisoners
died on the passage and all the others were
landed although not quite free from Scorbutus,
in good health and able to proceed on the
instant to the out stations.
He was appointed Surgeon to
the William and Mary in 1845 (143)
In 1847 he published
Report on the Climate and Principal Diseases
of the Africa station.
In 1850 he published On the Respective
Value of Lime Juice, Citric Acid and Nitrate
of Potash in the treatment of
scurvy ........(Instructions were given
several years ago to the surgeons of convict
ships, that if scurvy broke out during the
voyage, they were to try the relative effects
of lime-juice, nitrate of potash, and citric
acid; choosing similar cases for experiment,
and placing the patients under like
circumstances of diet and exercise. Dr. Bryson
details some results which have been thus
obtained.) ...........(continued)
He was head of the
department of naval medical statistics and
compiled the Statistical reports on the
Health of the Navy and an article 'On
medicine and Medical Statistics' (145)
In 1854 the Morning Post
announced that Alexander Bryson, serving as
surgeon of the Fisgard, flag ship at
Woolwich was appointed Deputy Inspector of
Hospitals. It was expected that he was to be
ready for service in a hospital ship about to
be commissioned for the purpose of
accompanying the fleet under the command of
Vice Admiral Sir Charles Napier K.C.B. (144)
He was appointed Honorary
Surgeon to Her Majesty in November 1859
(Caledonia Mercury)
In the 1861 Census he was
recorded as residing at Hermitage, Barnes,
Surrey. He was unmarried and age 58. His niece
Mary Bryson was a visitor at his residence and
he employed a cook and a housemaid.
He was appointed
director-general of the medical department of
the navy on the retirement of Sir John Liddell
in January 1864 (145) and made a companion of
the Order of Bath.
The Lancet July 1867
His death was announced in the Glasgow
Herald in December 1869 - At the
Hermitage Barnes, London on 12th instant,
Alexander Bryson, M.D., C.B., F.R.S., Honorary
Physician to the Queen, late Director General
of the Medical Department of the Navy, aged
67.
His obituary appeared in
the Lancet - Dr. Bryson, though a
valuable public servant in his own peculiar
line, was neither an efficient nor a popular
Director-General. An officer, however
zealous, who has never done duty as a
deputy-inspector or inspector of hospitals
ought to be, and for the future we are happy
to know ill be, held unfitted for promotion to
higher rank; and it is no disparagement to Dr.
Bryson's memory to say that he was by
education totally unfitted to cope with the
many difficulties of a Director-General's
position. Statistical details of the
Department had always the greatest interest
for Dr. Bryson; but a question affecting the
position of a medica l officer, in some
dispute with a commanding officer, received
from him no sympathy or attention; and the
member of the naval medical profession felt
that they had no real chief to represent their
interests at head quarters, and to defend them
against the encroachments of the executive.
Dr. Bryson was, however,
as we have said, a valuable public servant, if
placed in a false position; and he certainly
deserved better treatment than he received at
the hands of the present Admiralty. Sudden
notice to vacate office was accompanied by an
order to continue to do the duty of the
department until, at the convenience of the
authorities, a successor was appointed, and
was followed, without the slightest reference
to or consultation with the Director-General,
by the appointment of a commission of
civilians to inquire into and overhaul the
great naval medical establishments of the
country. Then came the question of pension,
and the public will hardly believe that this
question was still being fought with Admiralty
when death stepped in an cut the matter short.
That the slights to
which he was subjected, including the refusal
of the knighthood ordinarily given to a
Director-General, had an effect upon Dr.
Bryson's health is unquestioned. During the
past summer he consulted Dr. Russell Reynolds
on account of noises in the ears, deafness,
pain in the back of the head, and confusion of
ideas, which, at times, troubled him much, but
from which he recovered by rest and other
measure. On Thursday the 9th instant, Dr.
Bryson seemed remarkably well, and in the
afternoon was walking in his garden in good
spirits and apparent health. But, on coming
into the house he felt suddenly ill, became
strange in manner and then became
unconscious.......his rights side was found to
be completely paralysed and he remained in a
coma until death on the Sunday morning.

BYNOE, Benjamin
|
|
Benjamin Bynoe was born in Barbados, West
Indies c.1803 (16). He was on the list of new Fellows of the Royal
College of Surgeons in 1825(13) and joined Charles Darwin's expedition as assistant-surgeon
on the Beagle in 1831. In April 1832 he was appointed acting surgeon when
Robert McCormick departed the Beagle.
The voyage returned to
England in October 1836 and
Benjamin married Charlotte Ollard in December
1836 at St. Saviour, Southwark.(15) Charlotte was the daughter of John
and Margaret Ollard. She was baptised with her brother in 1811 at
Southwark.
Benjamin Bynoe joined the next expedition which
departed England
in July 1837 and returned to England in October 1843. The
Bynoe mouth, one of the outlets of the Flinders River, about 200
yards wide was named by Captain Stokes R.N. of the Beagle in 1841 in

(This is a link. Click to find the species attributed to
Bynoe)
Benjamin Bynoe was appointed Surgeon Superintendent on the convict ship Blundell
in 1844. The Blundell departed England in March 1844 with
324 people including the ships company, and arrived at Norfolk Island on
7th July 1844. There was little illness on the first part of this voyage
until they reached the equator when catarrhal and other complaints
emerged. The prisoners were mostly well behaved and only three men were punished,
all
for petty thefts. Bynoe kept a
medical journal from 20 February 1844 to 1st August 1844.(6)
He
was appointed to the Crocodile in April 1847 (7) and transferred

noted as being on half-pay, not practising. Their servant Eliza Parvhak
age 19 resided with them.
In September 1853 he was appointed to the
Madagascar store ship
The quality of Bynoe's long, devoted, and adventurous service
typified the careers of so many nineteenth century naval medical
officers who made their contribution to the social history of their time......read
more about Benjamin Bynoe at the
Journal of the History of Medicine.
Benjamin Bynoe was employed as Staff-Surgeon when he died at 440
Old Kent Road, Surrey on 13th November 1865 (12), He was buried at
