Hello Davina,
I guess Alfred James Bisdee (born Tasmania, 1855) fits into your Bisdee Family Tree somewhere. If this of interest, he is shown on the 1881 Census as a General Practitioner living at Hutton. (Hutton Court).
The Family History bit is that he attended the births (and deaths) of children of John and Eliza Chappell of Woodborough, Winscombe in the 1870s and early 1880s. (They had 14 children in all).
Alfred Bisdee is of note in the Chappell family for telling John Chappell (the husband) in February 1883, at the birth of their 13th child (George) "Chappell, if your wife has any more children, it will kill her." She did have another child, on 28 March 1884, and she died three weeks later (on 17 April 1884), from cellulitis and exhaustion.
We had this information first-hand from my wife's mother (born Nora Chappell, 1902), grand-daughter of Henry Chappell (a son of John and Eliza Chappell) who was present in the room when Alfred Bisdee reprimanded John Chappell in 1883.
Henry was nearly 9 years old at the time, and it obviously made a very deep impression on him. We have Nora, on tape, speaking of her grandfather, Henry, "if he told me this once, he told me this hundreds of times."
I guess this won't help the Bisdee family tree, but if you are looking for related family information, it seems that Alfred Bisdee was not a man to mince his words!
Best regards, and every success with the family history.
Dennis.
