How interesting are this Blakeway family
I've been adding information from Nick Lahey-Bean.
He says regarding Harry........ "he carried out both hair lip and cleft pallet operations on his own daughter (my mother) in 1916!"

From The National Library of Medicine website
A successful operation on a cleft palate did however not occur until 1816. This can be explained by the fact that cleft palates were thought to be secondary to syphilis, but also because without anaesthetic this operation was extremely painful and difficult. Graefe in 1816 [20a] and Roux in 1819 [49] published the first satisfactory results. After the introduction of chloroform cleft surgery made remarkable progress.
