Born in 1891 the son of Maurice Wigram, of Sheffield, and his wife, *née* Graham. Maurice Wigram outlived his son. Originally Nathan Judah Wigram, he assumed his mother's surname in place of his second given name. He was educated at King Edward VII School and the University, Sheffield, where he was Kaye scholar (1913) and was awarded a medal in anatomy and physiology (1913) and a gold medal in medicine and surgery. During the first world war Wigram was commissioned as a captain in the RAMC (T) on 15 May 1916, and was promoted major. He was attached to the 3rd Northern General Hospital, Sheffield, and served as officer in charge of the surgical division and surgical specialist in the General Hospital of the British force in North Russia. He afterwards settled in general practice at 82 Sloane Street, London, SW1. Wigram died on 30 August 1944, aged 53, survived by his wife. He was buried at Beaconsfield Road cemetery, Willesden, and a memorial service was held at the New West End Synagogue, St Petersburgh Place, Bayswater on 4 September.
