Born in Ireland in 1870, he was educated at Queen's College, Belfast and the University of Edinburgh. After a period on the staff of the Department of Anatomy at Newcastle, he became a senior demonstrator in the Department of Anatomy at Birmingham University. In 1915 he was appointed head of the Department of Anatomy at the Middlesex Hospital Medical School and in 1920 the University of London designated the post a professorial chair.
