Notes for Doctor Francis Edward Townsend MD
Married 25 February 1892. Annette Theresa Steavenson was the daughter of Francis E Steavenson, Town Clerk, Darlington, Co Durham.
Francis studied medicine at Trinity College, Dublin, though there is no record of this, following which he established a medical practice in Eston and Normanby. He was also a member of the medical staff at Eston Hospital and a 'Certifying Surgeon under the Factory and Workshop Acts'. (1)
Francis lived at 'Killora' (2) in Normanby. His estate was valued at £5,876 nett.
(1) London Gazette 33874 page 6555 dated 18 October 1932.
(2) Aldwell's General Directory 1844-45 records a ‘Townsend Samuel P' living at Killora, Co Cork but it is not certain whether this is Samuel Townsend [6A03]. Edward Townsend [6B20] lived at KIllora, Sligo. Why Francis should call his house Killora when there is no obvious connection with Samuel or Edward is a mystery.
