The Times Tuesday, May 19, 1908; OBITUARY
A correspondent writes: - “Dr. CHARLES JAMES CULLINGWORTH, who died of angina pectoris on May 11, was born in Leeds in 1841. He was educated at Wesley College, Sheffield, and studied medicine at the Leeds School of Medicine. He qualified in 1865, and began his work as a general practitioner. He soon, however, devoted himself especially to diseases of women, and in 1873 was appointed surgeon to St. Mary’s Hospital for Women, Manchester. He was also much interested in medical jurisprudence, and lectured on that subject for seven years. In 1885 he was appointed Professor of Obstetric Medicine in Owens College. His life at Manchester was one of unwearying activity; he took a very active part in the foundation of the Victoria University, and acted as secretary to the faculty of medicine at the University. In 1883 he was offered the post of obstetric physician at St. Thomas’s Hospital, London, which he accepted. Henceforth his activities were centred n London, and the gynecological department at St. Thomas’s Hospital at once became a  model of efficiency, and from it  emanated in rapid succession a series of contributions to medical literature, some of which, it is no exaggeration to say, were epoch-making. He delivered the Bradshaw lecture at the Royal College of Physicians in 1902, and the Ingleby lecture at the University of Birmingham in 1904. He was deeply versed in all that was best in literature, and his numerous writings revealed literary talent of a high order. Among his writings his biographical volumes Oliver Wendell Holmes and on Charles White, a celebrayed Manchester surgeon, may be singled out as types of what biographical sketches ought to be. To say that Dr. Cullingworth was held in high esteem by all who knew him scarcely conveys the feelings of affection and veneration in which he was held. Essentially a strong man, he was fearless and untiring in his endeavours to uphold the interest and dignity of his profession. He took a very deep interest in all matters connected with the nursing profession, and, fortunately, he lived to see the benefits of his strenuous efforts in connexion with the passing of the Midwives Act and the training of midwives. His illness was a long one, and he suffered from almost daily attacks of severe pain with a fortitude and cheerfulness that never wavered. In private life he was a most delightful host and companion, and he possessed a fund of reminiscences and a sense of humour that were a never-failing joy to those who knew him intimately.

Note: From further items in The Times, we found that Dr Cullingworth acted as Police Surgeon during his time in Manchester.

SYDNEY CULLINGWORTH, formerly Inspector of Mines, Mount Margaret goldfield, was born at Southport, England, on October 28, 1865, and is a son of the late Henry E. Cullingworth, merchant, of that place. He received his education in his native town and subsequently at the Ballarat School of Mines, Victoria, where he completed his mining course in his early twenties. Upon leaving this institution he was employed as assayer and sampler on the Kohinoor Mine, New South Wales, and afterwards held positions on various mining properties, spending three years in Tasmania, and for a considerable time occupying the post of metallurgist to the English and Australian Copper Company in Adelaide.In 1895 he cam to Western Australia to erect and conduct a battery at Cue, where he joined the staff of Messrs. Bewick, Moreing, & Co. as their mining representative on the Murchison goldfield, a post he heldfor three years. Resigning his position at Cue he returned to the eastern States and became engaged in mining pursuits on his own account, at the same time practising as mining engineer for a considerable period. In 1904 he again sailed for Western Australia and joined the Mining Department, first as battery manager at a place called Duketon on the Mount Margaret goldfields, where he continued for a year, and subsequently at the end of 1905 received the appointment of Inspector of Mines. Mr. Cullingworth was stationed at Mount Margaret in 1908, and continued there until 1913 when he received a transfer to the State Mining Engineers' Department, Perth. In addition to his official position at Mount Margaret he occupied the post of Government representative on the Leonora Water Board. He finds recreation on the tennis court and is particularly fond of shooting game. Mr. Cullingworth married in 1897 Mildred, daughter of the late Dr. Herbert, of Adelaide, south Australia, and has two sons and two daughters.
