Occupation Interests / Re: LINK: Pharmacists, Chemists, Druggists, Apothecaries

Hi Jane
Re my earlier post.
I have looked up the registers at RPSGB from mid 1890's to 1920 and the only trace of Wilfred Lewis Watson was as a student in 1891 at Kettering. He operated a Drug & Photograhic store in Frome from 1899 to 1909 and at the 1901 census he gave his occupation as 'Dispenser to Surgeon.' Perhaps you can help? Does this suggest that as he apparently failed to qualify, he was able to dispense drugs that were checked/prescribed  by the Surgeon only?  Presumably if unqualified he was nevertheless able sell over the counter medicines and drugs?
many thanks

Wilfred Lewis Watson born 1873 Belper was a Pharmaceutical student living at the Granville Hotel WELLINGBOROUGH at the time for the 1891 census. He later opened a Drug and Photographic store in Frome, Somerset from about 1900 to 1909. A collection of glass negatives of Frome and District was found in the loft of a house in Ealing in the 1980s. Have been unable to find him on the 1911 census.
Any information on his subsequent movements would be much appreciated.
Many thanks.
