Analytical Chemist

[dstaples]

I have just discovered from my Great Grandfathers death certificate that he was an Analytical Chemist in Sunderland. I would assume that he would have had to attended a University to obtain his qualifications, but have not been able to find anything in my searches on the internet.

Can someone please point me in the right direction

His details are:
Michael H Staples born 1879 in Brixham Devon.
He moved to Sunderland sometime between 1912 and 1922.
Died Dec 1963 Sunderland.

Thanks
David Staples

Hi David,
The following link may be of some assistance to you, its for the royal society of chemistry history page and details the societies it originated from.

Your great grandfather may have well been a member of such a society.
