Received his professional training at St George's Hospital (1840-1844). He settled at Bristol in 1844 and soon obtained a large practice. After taking the Fellowship in 1852, he was elected one of the Surgeons to the Bristol General Hospital, retiring in 1874, when he was appointed Consulting Surgeon. At the time of his death he was also Consulting Surgeon to the Bristol Hospital for Women and Children, and had been Surgeon to the Lock Hospital for Women, Bristol. He was at one time Lecturer on Anatomy and Surgery at the Bristol Medical School. Coe was a practical surgeon and a good operator; his opinion was especially valuable in diagnosis of obscure cases. His rather reserved manner interfered with his general popularity, but his colleagues could always rely on his judgement. He died at his residence, 7 Pembroke Road, Clifton, on August 11th, 1910, after he had retired from the profession for several years.
