Heysham (John, M.D.), 1753-1834 
John Heysham, born at Lancaster, November 22, 1753, 
was the son of John Heysham, a shipowner. He was educated 
at the Friends’ School at Yealand near Burton, Westmorland, 
and apprenticed for five years with a surgeon at Burton. 
He went to Edinburgh in 1774 to study medicine, and 
graduated M.D. in 1777. He settled in practice at Carlisle 
in the following year, and resided there until his death on 
March 23, 1834. 
In addition to his observations on the fauna and flora 
of the county published in Hutchinson’s History , he published 
in 1797 at Carlisle statistical observations relating to Carlisle 
which were used by Joshua Milne, actuary of the Sun Life 
Office, in 1816 as the basis of the Carlisle Table. His son, 
T. C. Heysham, of Carlisle, was a notable ornithologist, and 
sent much information to Yarrell for his first edition of the 
British Birds , besides supplying some of the nestlings figured 
as tail-pieces. His admirable account of the habits of the 
dotterel is printed at length in the second volume, pp. 393-8.
