Notes From Elsewhere
Francis Rawdon Hastings Campbell (1798-1877), medical practitioner, was born in Belfast, Ireland, the second son of Archibald Campbell and Elizabeth Young. At 11 he ran away to join a transport carrying troops to the Peninsular war. On returning home he continued his education, studied at Glasgow University (M.A., M.D., 1829) and at Edinburgh (L.R.C.S., 1829). He practised medicine in London until he migrated to Sydney where he arrived on 2 September 1839. Approved as a medical practitioner he opened rooms in Bridge Street before moving to Morpeth where he took up land and in March 1842 began a practice in East Maitland. Three years later he returned to Sydney and was appointed to the honorary medical staff of the Benevolent Asylum and physician to the Oddfellows' Medical Institute. From 1 January 1848 he was medical superintendent of the Tarban Creek Lunatic Asylum.
