Was the son of Theodore Davis, MRCS, of Clevedon, Somerset. He was educated at Queen's College, Birmingham, and St Bartholomew's Hospital. He practised from 1861 onwards at Clevedon, where he won for himself a leading position and was much sought after in consultation. He was at one time a member of the honorary staff of the Clevedon Cottage Hospital and of the Dispensary, and was Consulting Surgeon to the latter at the time of his death. Failing health compelled him to retire some years before his death, which occurred at his residence in Walton-in-Gordano, Clevedon, on August 11th, 1909. He left a widow and family, and was buried in Clevedon churchyard.
