Hi Dave...after reading his obituary i must say what a life he must have had...to be a surgeon during the Crimean War must have been both horrendous and exiting at the same time...good luck.

Can't find a birth for him in the Canadian records on Ancestry - online records for Canada are pretty sporadic prior to 1850. But based on that obit I would say the family was Anglican- might be able to track his father's church posting in Canada around the yob. Also since he went to McGill University in Montreal there might be some records of him attending/graduating.
