Born 4 April 1852 in Devonshire, the second son of George Andrew, auctioneer and surveyor, and his wife, *née* Martyn. He was educated at St Bartholomew's Hospital, where he was house surgeon and ophthalmic house surgeon. He was resident medical officer at Birmingham Dispensary, and house surgeon at the South Devon and East Cornwall Hospital at Plymouth, and practised at Plympton, Devon, in the seventies. He took the Fellowship on 11 December 1879, the same day as (Sir) Arthur Mayo-Robson. During the early eighties he practised at Egham, Surrey, moving about 1885 to Gravesend, Kent, where he was surgeon to the post office and to HM Customs and Quarantine. About 1890 he went to practise at Torquay, and took the MD of Durham in 1893. At the end of the century he settled at 5 Montpelier Crescent, Brighton, which was his home till the end of his life nearly fifty years later. Before the outbreak of the first world war he practised also for some years round 1910 at Monte Carlo, and between the wars he lived for a time at Bramhall near Stockport. Andrew married in 1882 Susannah Fergusson. There were three sons and three daughters of the marriage. He died at Brighton on 29 July 1948, aged 96. He retained full use of his faculties, including his remarkable memory. He was the senior Fellow.
