Product Description:

Unlock the professional details of your early 20th-century medical ancestors with The Dentists Register 1906. Reproduced as scanned images of the original publication, this invaluable genealogical resource is available instantly as a digital download or mailed to you on a convenient CD-ROM.

Published just a few years after the Dentists Act of 1878 began to strictly regulate the profession, this register captures a fascinating transitional period in British dental history. Because the directory is strictly alphabetical, locating your ancestor is incredibly fast and straightforward—simply scroll to the correct letter.

Bridging the Census Gap The year 1906 falls perfectly between the 1901 and 1911 England & Wales censuses. If your ancestor moved, changed professions, or emigrated during this decade, The Dentists Register 1906 serves as a vital substitute census, pinpointing their exact location and professional status when no national census data exists.

What’s Inside: A Section-by-Section Breakdown

• The Main Register (Alphabetical): The core of the book. Lists every registered dentist in the UK. Entries typically include the surname, initials, full residential address (often including street and town), qualifying body, and the exact date they were registered.
• The Supplementary List: Features dentists practicing in the UK who qualified overseas or in British Colonies (e.g., Canada, Australia, India), along with the dates their foreign credentials were officially recognized in Britain.
• Index of Qualifying Bodies: A handy guide to the various colleges and institutions that issued dental diplomas at the time, such as the Royal College of Surgeons of England, Edinburgh, and Ireland.
• Official Appendices & Corrections: Lists dentists who have been removed from the register (due to death or striking off) since the 1905 edition, ensuring you don't accidentally track a deceased relative.

Notable People Inside Scanning these pages offers a snapshot of dental history. You will find entries for pioneering figures of the era, most notably Lilian Lindsay (née Murray). Having made history in 1895 as the first licensed female dentist in the UK, she is actively listed here practicing in London in 1906—a true trailblazer for women in medicine. You will also find the names of dentists who held royal warrants, treating the aristocracy and the royal family of the Edwardian era.
