History
John Bishop King was the son of William King M.D. (Cantab.) F.R.C.P. (1786-1865), who practiced in Brighton. J.B. King passed as M.D. in 1855 and travelled East in the same year; after a short period in India he settled at Penang. The Medical Directory lists him as resident there until 1898; in 1899 he is listed as living in Brighton, where he remains until 1901; in 1902 he is absent from the Directory, presumably dead.
His wife Joanna (née Smith) was the daughter of Captain Smith of Penang; they were married in Penang in 1866.
