Robert Davies-Colley came from a prominent medical family. His grandfather was Dr Thomas Davies, physician to the Chester General Infirmary, who afterwards took the name of Colley; his father J.N.C. Davies-Colley FRCS was senior surgeon to Guy's Hospital; his mother was a daughter of Charlewood Turner, Treasurer of Guy's from 1856 to 1876; his elder brother Hugh was surgeon to the Cambridge Hospital, Aldershot, and his sister Eleanor was the first woman to be admitted FRCS.

Robert Davies-Colley was educated at Westminster School, Emmanuel College, Cambridge, and Guy's Hospital, qualifying in 1906.

At Guy's Davies-Colley held various posts including those of lecturer in surgical pathology and curator of the medical school museum. He was then appointed obstetric registrar and considered specialising in that subject, but in 1910 transferred to the dissecting room to teach anatomy. This led to his appointment in 1912 to the surgical staff, and during the first world war he served in France and then as consulting surgeon to the Mesopotamian Expeditionary Force with the rank of Colonel; he was mentioned in dispatches and appointed CMG in 1918.

In 1933 Davies-Colley was appointed surgeon at Guy's and he also took on other posts. He was Erasmus Wilson lecturer in surgical pathology 1932-35, 1937 and 1939-46 at the Royal College of Surgeons. He was consulting surgeon to the London County Council and to the Florence Nightingale Hospital, an examiner in surgery to London University and the Society of Apothecaries, and a member of the Court of Examiners at the College 1936-41. He took a special interest in the Children's Medical Home at Waddon, Surrey and was for many years its honorary treasurer.

During the second world war Guy's was dispersed into numerous centres in Kent; Davies-Colley became the officer in charge of the Farnborough Hospital and the liaison between Guy's and the Kent County Council.

Davies-Colley married in 1908 Emily Cecilia, daughter of Arthur Crosby Jones of Chatham. She had been a nurse at Great Ormond Street and Guy's Hospitals, and after her marriage she continued her active voluntary work for Guy's. They had two daughters and one son who was killed in action in 1943, aged 23.
Mrs Davies-Colley died on 16 February 1953.

Davies-Colley was a large man with a heavy but handsome face and a friendly smile.

He died at Guy's on 16 April 1955 aged 73.

Among the earliest women in the UK to pursue a career in surgery, at that time an almost entirely male-dominated profession, she was also the co-founder of the South London Hospital for Women and Children.

Born in Petworth, Sussex (brother of Frances Baker (artist), Eleanor (surgeon) and Margaret (suffragette) and cousin of Francis McDougall Charlewood Turner).

Her father, John Neville Colley Davies-Colley, was a surgeon at Guy's Hospital; her maternal grandfather, Thomas Turner, was also treasurer of that hospital.
She studied at Baker Street High School for Girls and Queen's College, London.
After leaving school, she at first worked with poor children in London's East End.

Studied medicine at the London School of Medicine for Women (1902–07), achieving the MB BS degree in 1907.
Was awarded the MD degree by the University of London in 1910.
In 1911, she became the first female fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons.

On graduating in 1907, she became a house surgeon under Maud Chadburn (with whom she was to live and work for twenty-five years) at the New Hospital for Women, (later renamed the Elizabeth Garrett Anderson Hospital and now part of the University College London Hospitals).

She then became demonstrator in anatomy at the London School of Medicine and surgical registrar at the Royal Free Hospital. In addition to her work at the South London Hospital, in later life she was also a surgeon at the Marie Curie Cancer Hospital and senior obstetrician at the Elizabeth Garrett Anderson Hospital.

In 1917, she was one of the founding members of the Medical Women's Federation.

With her colleague Maud Chadburn she began raising funds in 1911 for a new South London Hospital for Women and Children.
At that time, such hospitals served the dual purpose of improving medical care for women and enhancing career prospects for female medical practitioners, as many hospitals refused to employ women.
Aided by her cousin Harriet Weaver and other feminists, enough money was raised to open an outpatients' department in Newington Causeway in 1912. A purpose-built eighty-bed hospital on Clapham Common, staffed entirely by women, was opened by Queen Mary on 4 July 1916.
Davies-Colley worked at the South London Hospital for Women and Children from its foundation until her death, holding various positions including senior surgeon.

She died suddenly of thyroid toxaemia in London in 1934.

Cousin of Francis Turner and cousin of Sandy Irvine.

Born in Oxford, the son of Falconer Madan, a Fellow of Brasenose College, Oxford and Bodley's Librarian, and Frances Jane Hayter.
He had a sister, Ethel, who married Charles Fox Burney.

He was educated at Summer Fields School, Oxford, Eton College (to which he won the top scholarship in 1907) and Balliol College, Oxford.
While still at school he earned a day's holiday for the whole school by the excellence of his account of Eton written in Herodotean Greek, and embarked on a correspondence and friendship with A. C. Benson.
Madan went up to Balliol College in 1913 to read Classics.

In 1914 Madan's university career was interrupted by the First World War. He was commissioned in the King's Own Royal Lancaster Regiment, and was wounded in the Mesopotamian campaign in 1916.

In 1919 Madan married Marjorie, the daughter of Sir Saxton Noble, Baronet. In 1920 Marjorie gave birth to their one child, Nicola.

Between 1920 and 1924 Madan was employed in the City of London; but in 1924 a severe attack of meningitis forced him to retire. A private income enabled him to devote the remainder of his life to his interests, which included wine, old silver and above all books.

Madan's daughter Nicola married Gordon Campbell, later Lord Campbell of Croy.

Madan died suddenly in London on 6 July 1947 aged 52.
