HERBERT JOHN SHIRLEY, .C.M;G., M.D., F.R.C.S. The death took place suddenly on May 14 1943 of Herbert John Shirley, consulting anaesthetist to University College Hospital. He was the son of Mr. William Scharlieb, a barrister practising in India, and Dame Mary Scharlieb, who was gynaecologist to the Royal Free Hospital and is still well remembered for her public work in several capacities, especially in the cause of the welfare of women. Their son, H. Johann Scharlieb, was born in 1868, and changed his name by deed poll to Shirley in 1914. He received his medical training at University College Hospital, London, and qualified in 1894. A little later he took the M.B., B.S. with honours, in 1898 the London M.D., and in 1899 the Fellowship of the Royal College of Surgeons. He served as house-physician and house-surgeon and as gynaecological assistant at University College Hospital, and as clinical assistant at the Hospital for Sick Children in Great Ormond Street. His career as a practising doctor had only lately begun when he volunteered for service in the South African War. As physician and' adjutant, Langman's Hospital, in the South African Field Force, he showed those qualities which would, had he chosen to devote himself to it, have carried him to distinction in a military career. He was mentioned in dispatches, and on his return was made C.M.G. Settling again in the practice of medicine in London, he made a special study of anaesthetics, and in collaboration with Sir Edward Sharpey-Schafer produced some original work on the action of chloroform on the heart and blood vessels. During the first world war, although over military age, he enlisted and served with the British Expeditionary Force as lieutenant colonel, 2/5 Lancashire Fusiliers, and again his name appeared in dispatches. In 1917 he exchanged to the R.A.M.C., became consulting anaesthetist in the Malta Command, and had charge of the military hospital, Manoel, Malta. At the end of the war he was S.M.O. in a motor transport division of the R.A.S.C., and he retained his military rank as brevet colonel commanding Artists' Rifles. He' was proud to hold Volunteer and Territorial decorations. His work as consulting anaesthetist to the hospital of his student days was much appreciated, but he did not take any considerable part in medical discussions or publication. He was the author of the article on " Chloroform " in The Practitioner's Encyclopaedia of Medicine and Surgery, and in the British Medical Association, to which he was first elected in 1895, he was honorary secretary of the Section of Anaesthetics in 1910 and vice-president of the Section of Pharmacology and Therapeutics, with Anaesthetics, in 1936.

The idea of these charts is to give the information that we have found in the research we have done and put together and with the help of many other people who have contacted us over the past thirty odd years we have been researching our family. The idea is that you click on the Chart box in blue to be taken to the next family. There is now a large number of charts to be found and connections can be made to all the main families I am researching. If a chart has a box with the standard background it means that as yet I have not put the Chart on the Web.
