He practised at Heathfield, Bromley, Kent, and was the medical attendant of Charles Darwin at Downe, who for forty years suffered from an obscure gastric disorder accompanied by pain and sickness; but Willey is not mentioned in the *Life and Letters* - only Bence Jones and Sir Andrew Clark.
Willey was Medical Superintendent of Bromley Cottage Hospital, and after a long and successful career in practice retired to Somersfield, Reigate, where he died on May 16th, 1923. He was survived by his widow, three daughters, and a son.
