Letter from Kings College -London

Dear Penelope Hammond

Thank you for your email regarding George Hammond.  Please accept my apologies for the delay in replying. 

We do have indexes of pupils who attended Guy's and St Thomas's Medical Schools.  During part of the 18th and just into the 19th century, the medical schools of the two hospitals taught different disciplines and so students usually attended both schools.  I have therefore searched for George Hammond in the records of both Guy's and St Thomas's.   Sadly, I was unable to find any trace of him. 

As he was possibly a surgeon-apothecary, I would suggest, if you have not already done so, contacting the Royal College of Surgeons and the Society of Apothecaries who both have records which may pertain to George Hammond.

They can be contacted at:
