Thanks for your reply on the website for this college.

I tried and received a reply from the rvc.ac.uk site saying they would investigate, but that was 3 weeks ago, and I still haven't heard anything. Wonder how long I have to wait?

Elmer W. FAY 1907 Veterinary Diploma , London, Ontario

claralawver — 2008-09-04 22:00:22Z

I have my grandfather, Elmer W. FAY's May 1907 Veterinary Diploma from the Veterinary Science Association, signed by T. H. HASKETT, D.V.D. "Secretary" and J. E. HODGINS, VS &D, "President".

Can someone tell me anything about this Canadian Veterinary School?

I also have a few livestock Veterinary books - 1881 to 1916 that were used by "FAY" and his father-in-law, Dugald CAMPBELLon farms and ranches in western Nebraska up to about 1930. These old vet books are 'profusely illustrated' and indexed - if anyone would want me to look something up.

The terminology is 'quaint?', but understandable, and most of the treatments recommended are similar to those in use in today's veterinary practices. However some of the drugs listed as "remedies" are no longer available.

Interesting and a little different as research goes.

Hi Sheila,

Sorry for the delay in replying, work and also I was checking my files to respond to you.

I’d be interested to know where you got some of the information as I may be missing some of the children.

William Cain and Elizabeth (nee Inns) baptised the following children in Codicote Church, Mary on 5th September, 1809, Susannah on 31st May 1812, John on 28th November, 1813, Thomas on 24 December, 1815, Edward on 25th January, 1818, Eliza on 12th August, 1821 and James on 16th February, 1824. Of these three died very young and were buried in Codicote churchyard, Susannah on 31st May, 1813, Eliza on 30th September, 1821 and Mary on 20th May, 1824.

I also have a note from the Hertfordshire Burial Records that there was a William who was buried 22nd April, 1807, so presumably their eldest child.

I’m curious about your extra names – Stephen, another Edward who married Mary Ann Sharp? Mary Ann and Fanny. It would be strange if a first child Edward grew to adulthood and yet they had a second child with the same name, I’ve only ever come across this when the first one died and the second was named after him.

William Cain’s parents were James Cain and Susannah Stanton of Luton. They had other children including Thomas who married Elizabeth Grey. This couple had a number of children including Thomas born 1802 in Codicote. It was this Thomas, cousin to the one you mention as having three marriages, who married Eliza Filler. This is my direct line.

I hope this has been a little help to you.

I'm glad we could help each other out Sheila, those names you mention certainly fit in with the dates after the marriage of the parents and slot in between those others that I had, but how strange that they should baptise some in Codicote and others in Lilley. Could they have been keeping her family happy by going home for just about every other birth? or have we mixed up two different families?

A problem which is going to take more investigation I can see.

Nice chatting with you.

Hi Mary,

Thank you for the new (to me) information on birth of James, and burials of Susannah, Eliza & Mary.

It makes sense that William who was buried 1807 was their eldest child since they were married 1805.

The births of Stephen, Edward (mar. Mary Ann Sharp), Mary Ann & Fanny I got from the LDS IGI listing, but have not looked at the film. It is quite possible that I have attached them to the wrong family.

The three marriages I had for Thomas were to Hannah Millerd, Eliza Filler and Caroline ?. So I am totally wrong about Eliza Filler.

Thanks very much for your input.

Hi Mary,

No, I never got around to inquiring about his qualifications. I got distracted by receiving a lot of information on another line and sort of forgot about John Cain.

I don't have anything further back on his line except for his parents William Cain and Elizabeth Inns. Their children were Stephen, Edward (mar. Mary Ann Sharp), Mary, Mary Ann, Susanna, John, Fanny (mar. George Barnwell), Thomas (mar. Hannah Millerd, Eliza Filler and Caroline ?), Edward (mar. Eliza McClunan), Ann, and Eliza.

Regards
Sheila

Hi Sheila,

I was wondering if you ever enquired about any qualifications John Cain had?

I have him in my extended tree - he is cousin to my 2x Great Grandfather Thomas Cain who married Eliza Filler. Their common grandparents are James Cain and Susannah Stanton who married in 1774 in Luton.

Regards
Mary

If he was registered (as he had to be at that time) the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons will have a record. I have yet to find a copy of the Veterinary Register on shelves at a library, but the RCVS archivist was very helpful by email some time back (two of my great-grandfathers were vets). I was very lucky: one went to India and I've been able to read his testimonials from his application to join the East India Company from the 1830s, in the original.

VETERINARY Surgeon ROYAL COLLEGE OF ENGLAND

2002-05-01 16:58:07Z

I've been searching a long time for any info on the medical school my gr grandfather graduated from. His name was John
Camps Nightingale. He graduated from the Royal College of England as a VETERINARY surgeon. He practiced in the 1840's-50's in Coveney, Cambridge England and then moved to the US in 1851. Is there a college or school of the Royal College of England located close to Coveney or close by? His name did not show up in the London Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons. Any info would be appreciated.
Sincerely,
