Corse - Doctor Nason circa 1880 (General)

I know I am pushing the boundaries here and going outside the Forest - but today administration extends in that direction!

I am wondering if anyone knows why this gent came to Corse - I do not think there was a Doctor before him. I assume he was young for he had children, yet not many years later he appears to have passed away. Was there a family connection to this area, did he marry somebody local, was he politically sympathetic to the poor in this area, or religiously as a Non Conformist?

One son was killed fighting with the RFC, another was in Australia. I assume the family left Corse after the demise of the Doctor. Which raises another thought - would the Executors sell a MD Practice as a business proposition to a new Doctor?

The next Doctor was Mr Johnstone. I picture this gent as a pillar of the Establishment, but have nothing documentary to base this decision upon.

Many thanks to one and all.
