Occupation Dermatologist General surgeon Ophthalmologist
Details Educated at the London Hospital, where he was appointed Assistant Surgeon and Ophthalmologist in 1869, Surgeon in 1876, and Consulting Surgeon in 1902. He practised for many years at 4 Finsbury Square, one of the fine old Georgian houses now replaced by blocks of offices. He was perhaps the last of the men in consulting practice in London who were first general surgeons, but with their general work combined the practice of ophthalmology. Tay was one of them; Jonathan Hutchinson was another. Tay and Hutchinson were close colleagues and collaborators both in clinical observation and in literary work. To this day 'Tay's choroiditis' is the term used for the fine yellowish spots which appear in the macular region of the fundus of the eye as one of the signs of senile degeneration; and the discovery of this characteristic lesion was but one of his observations. Tay was elected Assistant Surgeon to the Moorfields Eye Hospital in 1877, having served for some time previously as Clinical Assistant to Jonathan Hutchinson (qv). He became Surgeon on the resignation of Sir William Bowman (qv) in 1882 and resigned his appointment in 1904, when he was succeeded by Sir William T Lister. Besides being a distinguished authority on the eye, Waren Tay was well known as a skin specialist and he was also skilled in the diseases of children. At the time of his death he was Consulting Surgeon to the Moorfields Eye Hospital, to the Hospital for Diseases of the Skin, Blackfriars, and to the Queen's Hospital for Children, Hackney Road. He retired from the staff of the London Hospital in 1902, and lived alone till his death at 61 Oakfield Road, West Croydon. He was unmarried, and died at Croydon on May 15th, 1927. The reputation of Waren Tay was somewhat overshadowed by his two great colleagues, Dr Hughlings Jackson and Sir Jonathan Hutchinson, for he was singularly modest and self-effacing. It was Tay's habit to consider every possibility when studying a case. He was incapable, therefore, of dogmatic teaching or of arriving rapidly at a conclusion.

When qualified he went into practice first in Burgh, Lincolnshire for a few years and then in partnership with M W Renton at Dartford. During the war of 1914-18 he joined the RAMC and in 1915 was surgeon at a hospital in Fécamp and in 1916-18 was ophthalmic surgeon at the Royal Herbert Hospital, Woolwich and Paddington Military Hospital.

About this time he became full-time MOH and also venereologist to Kent County Council until 1947. In 1938 he organised the casualty services for North Kent and during 1939-45 was busy with casualty services and VD Clinics, but nevertheless found time for postgraduate study of dermatology at St John's and at Guy's Hospital. In 1924-25 he was chairman of the Dartford Division of the BMA and again in 1934-35, becoming President of the Kent Branch in 1937-38. In 1948 with the introduction of the National Health Service he became consultant dermatologist and venereologist, retiring in 1951. In that year he married Kathleen Keirle who had been his secretary-chauffeuse for twenty years, and built a house at Kemsing on the Pilgrim's Way, where he laid out a unique garden. A gracious, quiet and dignified man, he was always ready to be helpful as a locum tenens in an emergency. He died in Guy's Hospital on 17 October 1958.

Occupation Dermatologist General surgeon
Details Born at 2 Beech Street, Barbican, London, EC, on 23 August 1859, third son of Evan Evans, MD, and Elizabeth Ann Tuke his wife. His father was appointed surgeon in the Royal Navy in 1842, and on his retirement settled in general practice in Cripplegate. His great grandfather had been surgeon to the French prisoners at Plymouth Dock during the Napoleonic wars at the beginning of the nineteenth century. His mother was a member of the Tuke family, who were well known as alienists. W H Evans was educated at University College School, at University College, and at University College Hospital. He graduated with honours at London University in 1885, and was appointed resident medical officer at the Royal Free Hospital in Gray's Inn Road in 1889. He was in succession surgical registrar 1891-95; casualty officer 1893; assistant surgeon 1903-19; lecturer on surgery 1912-19; and consulting surgeon 1919-38. During part of the time he acted as surgeon in charge of the department for the treatment of diseases of the skin. From 1909 to 1933 he was surgeon to the Blackfriars Hospital for Diseases of the Skin, and during the war of 1914-18 he was surgeon to King George's Hospital and to the officers' ward at the Royal Free Hospital. In 1907 he delivered the Erasmus Wilson lecture at the Royal College of Surgeons of England, taking as his subject "Leucoderma and analogous changes in the pigmentation of the skin". He restricted himself to the aetiology of the disease, attributing it to a toxin derived from the alimentary canal assisted by local injury and the action of light, the more general view being that it was of neurotic origin. He married on 17 July 1895 Ann Frances, daughter of the Rev G Piercy, a pioneer Methodist missionary of Canton, China. She, herself a graduate in medicine, survived him with three sons and two daughters, and died on 6 March 1940. Evans died at Cranford, Sidcup, Kent, on 7 September 1938. He was a man of encyclopaedic knowledge, a good linguist, an excellent teacher of students, and an ardent advocate for the admission of women to the medical profession.
