Nothing new perhaps here, but the Staunton surgery website mentions "Pop" Johnstone, presumably meaning "father" aka John Eccles Johnstone who'd have been in his 60s by the 1930s.
"There has been a medical practice in Staunton since the 1870s. Many of our patients Still remember old "Pop" Johnstone doing his rounds on a pony and trap in the 1930s and the old surgery at Corse Grange. In the 1950s the practice moved across the road to Ballydugan and was run from Dr Bill Wilson's garage!"

John Eccles S Johnstone died in Lichfield Staffs abt March 1958, aged 84, so born abt 1874 as per earlier post. Ancestry appears to have his Will.

Dr William Johnstone is mentioned in this Record at Glos Archives, I wonder if this is when he retired from the Practice so left it in the hands of others ?
"Partnership agreement between Dr William Johnstone, Dr Kenneth Tomlinson and Dr Robinson (all of Newent), 1950."
