LIEUTENENT C.W.M.MEDLICOTT (RCSI)

[steveboler]

Hi Folks,
Have a problem, I cannot resolve ,in finding Military Records pre-1907:-

Charles William Carter Madden Medlicott
b. 1838 - Cawnpore, India (Brit.Sub) d.1907 - Hannover Sq.London
married in 1873 my ancestor Agnes Elizabeth Boler

1861 - Ass.Medical Officer County Lunatic Asylum, Wells, Somerset
1881 - Ass.MedicalOfficer somerset & Bath Lunatic Asylum

Found a note on a tree which states:-
M.D. Lieutenant RCSI (presume this means medical doctor RoyalCollege of Surgeons)
Now the name "Carter" was his fathers surname and "Madden" was his mothers' surname.
Where the surname "Medlicott" came from,have no idea

Going by the "Lieutentent" I presume he must have served in the military at some point. Cannot see anything
on the Boer.
Any suggestions will be gratefully received.
Sorry to be long-winded, but put a picture together if it helps.

Thanks,

Steve

Could he have started out as a ship's surgeon in the Navy, rather than army service? I'm not so well up on pre-WWI military.

Hi Hawker,
Thank you very much for the tip - never thought of the Navy.
will try that avenue.
