LAUCHLAN MITCHELL DUNLOP (b. 12 September 1858) (Position 27 on the Genealogy Report) Lauchlan Mitchell is known to have studied medicine at Glasgow University from 1878 to 1882.  According to the 1881 census, which shows that he was living with his parents at 20 Bank Street, Greenock, he was then a medical student.  He does not appear to have graduated, but was a Triple Licentiate from 1886, that is, he had a licence to practice medicine granted conjointly by the Royal College of Physicians Edinburgh, the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh and the Faculty (later Royal College) of Physicians and Surgeons of Glasgow.  Lauchlan had a medical practice at 123 St Leonard's Road and 26 Teviot Street, Poplar, London, from 1888 to at least 1930.  (It is thought that 123 St Leonard's Road was his surgery, and 26 Teviot Street his residence.)  He was the Medical Officer of the casual wards of the Poplar and Bromley Union, and the medical representative, it would seem, of several slate clubs, friendly societies and life insurance companies. Lauchlan married Eliza Williamine Ayton Campbell, in the Royal Station Hotel, Forres (north east Scotland), on 15 August 1889.  Eliza's father was James Campbell, at one time of the Gallions Hotel, Inverness, but then the proprietor of the Royal Station Hotel, Forres.  The couple were married in the Royal Station Hotel, and it was given on the marriage certificate as Eliza's usual residence.  Eliza was born at 6 Lower Bridge Street, Stirling, on 3 January 1862, and her father, James Campbell, was then a railway inspector.  The couple had two children, Agnes Arthur, born at 26 Teviot Street, Poplar, London, on 17 June 1890, and James Campbell, also born at 26 Teviot Street, on 25 June 1894. Eliza died on 27 December 1906, aged 44, at 26 Teviot Street, Poplar.  Lauchlan Mitchell died on 30 April 1933, aged 74, at 20 Mornington Avenue, Ilford, Essex.  The informant to Lauchlan's death was L. Hammond, his son-in-law.  It would appear that their son, James Campbell Dunlop, took up residence in California before March 1928 and, as far as can be judged, was still living there when his father died in 1933.
