Talk:The Vises of Holbeach and Spalding/@comment-86.144.247.162-20180309014204

William, Edward and Charles Vise (and his son William Foster Vise) are all recorded in the records of Lincolnshire Inquests as surgeons of Spalding (a newspaper source from 1817 also describes William Vise the elder as 'surgeon, apothecary, chapman and dealer', so he clearly multi-tasked). Just to clarify, the article implies that Charles was off serving his apprenticeship in Yorkshire at the time of his marriage in 1833. However, he was already practising by then in Spalding with his father and he is first mentioned as surgeon at the inquest of the 30 y.o. Woodthorpe Curtis, held 17th October 1827, at the Peacock in Spalding (verdict - died of 'extreme debility and exhaustion'). After that, Charles appears frequently in inquest records for Spalding until his death in 1867. He often dealt with prisoners of the House of Correction (Spalding Prison) and is described as surgeon of the gaol once or twice. The last records I have for him are in inquests of 1866, where he appears with his son, William Foster Vise, surgeon.
