Hi William

I've been to the Reference Library and located the following:

L Charter-Starte is recorded as a dentist at 203 Wells Road from 1919 - 1923 and by 1929 at Oak Street, Fakenham in Norfolk. Now the intriguing part where was he located between 1924/28. He is not in the Bristol or Norfolk books as these addresses?

At Bristol in 1927 is one Milton Wallis and from 1931-1935 a Herbert Davis, so it seems the practice continued on

Ah so !!

Thanks, John - I am very grateful indeed  ;D

Maybe the answer to the riddle is "overseas" ?  The phonebooks don't help with the missing years - they go directly from Bristol to Norfolk.

I appreciate that you didn't make a note of it, but can you remember where and when he qualified ?

Thanks again  ;D

He is not listed in the 1914 Kelly's Directory for Bristol. Sorry

John

Thanks, John.  ;)

It seems he spent the First World War years qualifying as a dentist.

Where was he before the war? Obviously I do not know his age etc so maybe he started in Bristol just after leaving the army. At the 203 Wells Road there was no dentist before the war.

Do you know if the building is still standing?

You should check The Dentists Register, and also the Medical Directory.
If you go to http://www.copac.ac.uk/ , and search for this book, it will show you various places where these can be consulted in Britain, assuming you are in Britain.  There are several locations listed.

Dental surgeons from 1866 to 1924 are listed in the Medical Directory.

If it is not possible for you to go to any of these, I would suggest you ask at the Wellcome Library, 183 Euston Rd., London NW1
http://library.wellcome.ac.uk .  They have a wealth of information on medical topics, and will respond to you.  They were able to give me specific information on the training and licensing of a London physician in 1916-1919 period, even though he had trained abroad.

John:

He was born in Cambridge and doesn't appear to have served in the army at all.

I must still find out how and where he qualified.

I have no knowledge of Bristol but - if memory serves me - the building is still there.  (I did a google search of the address some time ago.)

Loo:

Thanks, but I live in South Africa. I could try the Wellcome Library, though - by email.

Yes, the Wellcome Library should work for you by email.  I am in Canada, and they replied to me by regular post, complete with photocopies, and more information than I really needed to know!  The physician I was inquiring about had attended a death of an ancestor, and shared his relatively unusual surname, but, because of the information they sent, I now know that the name was just a coincidence, and that they were not related.

Let us know how you make out.  I also have a dentist I want to inquire about, so I will be interested to hear how you get on.
