Not registered in NSW
Not in Richards card file
Grandson of a First Fleet marine William John Faddy (1746-1798) and son of his son William Faddy (1784-1810) RN
He was presumably a relative (possibly father?) of Dr. William Faddy (qv) who was at Paterson NSW in the 1870s
It is not clear whether one or both practised in the NSW mining districts in the 1850s and 1860s
Some sources say he was a naval (RN) surgeon, others that he was an East India Company surgeon (AMPI can find no evidence for either claim)
Some family sources say he was "MD" (possibly just meaning a doctor) others MRCSE (hence a qualified surgeon)
As he was not registered as a medical practitioner in NSW he was presumably unqualified and possibly only sporadically in practice in NSW
Mrs Faddy and three children arrived at Nelson from the Chatham Islands 7 July 1843 and left for Wellington on the same day (Nelson Examiner 8, 15 July)
They arrived in Sydney from Wellington in February 1844 (shipping record) |
