WINTERBOTHAM, LINDSEY PAGE (1887-1960), medical practitioner and anthropologist, was born on 14 April 1887 in North Adelaide, eldest of three children of Lindsey Percy Winterbotham, a wool-scourer from England, and his South Australian-born wife Fanny, nee de Mole. After attending the Collegiate School of St Peter, Lindsey studied medicine at the University of Adelaide for two years then transferred to the University of Melbourne (M.B., B.S., 1908). Moving to Queensland, he spent eighteen months as a resident medical officer at the Brisbane General Hospital. He held brief locum tenencies at several country towns before establishing his own practice at Lowood, west of Brisbane, in 1909. On 20 February 1912 at St Andrew's Church, South Brisbane, he married with Anglican rites Constance Mary Moore, a nurse. Next year he bought a practice on Ipswich Road at Annerley, Brisbane; he was to live there for the rest of his life. |
