Hi Again All,
I've gone through the Royal College's directory again and am listing all the "P" surnames below as well, per the other suggestion, which made a good point about the engraving on the ring. It's certainly worth a search!
I also think it's important to take this MD theory with a grain of salt though, because "Jacques" supposedly told one person his father was a doctor in Canada... and who knows how accurate that person's recollection was at the time or whether "Jacques" was telling the truth? Also it is entirely possible that *if* this guy's father was a doctor, he could be deceased now. There are sooo many variables. This list of "P" surnames is long and I haven't tried to Google any of them for photos or family info, so anyone reading this, have at it... might be interesting to see what turns up.
I also think the dentist theory is a possiblity- I tried searching for dentists the same way I did for MDs but it is more difficult. The associations of dentists in Canada are not as easy to search and you need a name to do it.
Also, about his ring: Linde star rings of that type were very common in the late 60's and 70's in North America. I have a good friend in the vintage jewelry biz in Florida and I asked her about the ring (and directed her to the photo online) and she gave me this info: 14kt gold was used almost exclusively in North America at the time "Jacques" died. According to my friend, 18kt was mostly used abroad, so wherever he got the ring, it was likely in America or Canada.
Regarding the elderly Dr Forsey: if you search the Canada white pages you'll see that he's listed with an address in suburban Montreal. I think a phone call would not be appropriate, but maybe a letter would, outlining the case? Since this man is elderly (and seems to have done alot of writing in the past per what I've seen in internet searches on him) a letter might be more appropriate? If he is not related to "Jacques" he may still be well connected enough in the medical community in Canada to "put the word out". It certainly could not hurt? Of course a check with the authorities investigating this case should be done first though, I would think, to make sure this would be appropriate and to check to find out if they haven't already tried the Canadian doctor search.
I think that the DNA analysis will be very interesting. I just hope it does not create more questions about this case than answers.
