The eldest son of George Fabian Evans, elected Physician to the Birmingham General Hospital in 1835, who was head of his profession in Birmingham. He was educated under the guidance of his father at the General Hospital and Sydenham College, Birmingham, and was then a student at St. Bartholomew's Hospital. He was for a time Resident Physician and Resident Surgeon at Edinburgh Royal Infirmary. After obtaining the FRCS in 1872, he began practice as a Consulting Surgeon and acted as Demonstrator of Anatomy at Queen's College, Birmingham, and in 1873 was appointed Surgeon to the Children's Hospital, a post held by him till his health broke down not long before his death. In 1874 he was unanimously chosen Hon Secretary of the new Birmingham Medical Institute, the foundation of which was due to a munificent bequest of his distinguished father. The subsequent success of the undertaking was in no small degree due to his faithful and courteous discharge of the duties and his wide personal influence. He won the regard of all who knew him by his modest demeanour and gentle and polished bearing; he was a diligent hospital surgeon, well versed in the literature of his profession. About 1879, when his career showed the greatest promise there were signs of cardiac failure, which compelled him reluctantly to withdraw from his post at the institute. His ample private means enabled him to retire from private practice. He travelled in search of health to Italy, but died of enteric fever in Rome on December 31st, 1880. He left a widow and two young children. His Birmingham address was 14 Temple Row.
