Lewis Durlacher
Lewis Durlacher was a chiropodist who was appointed as surgeon-chiropodist to the royal household in 1823 and served under George IV, William IV and Queen Victoria.
Durlacher was born in Warwickshire. His parents, who were Jewish, were Solomon Abraham Durlacher, a chiropodist and dentist who came from Durlach near Karlsruhe, Germany, and his wife Elizabeth Harris who was from Warwickshire, perhaps Birmingham.
He and his wife Susannah are both buried at Balls Pond Road Cemetery in London.
They had five sons and a daughter. Their son Montague succeeded his father in the role of surgeon-chiropodist to the royal household. Henry and George became art dealers in London, founding Durlacher Brothers in 1843; two of Henry's sons opened a New York branch in the 1920s.
