Charles Kearns Deane Tanner

Dr Charles Kearns Deane Tanner (20 September 1849 – 21 April 1901) was an Irish surgeon and politician.

Tanner was born in Cork, the son of notable surgeon Dr. William Kearns Deane-Tanner and Eliza Sharpe, educated in Paris and Winchester, and studied arts and medicine at Queen's College, Cork and the Universities of Leipzig and Berlin.

[1] He practised as a surgeon at South Cork Infirmary and County Hospital and lectured on anatomy at Queen's College.

[1] The Church Standard remarked that "there was scarcely a session that he did not make a fierce attack upon the ministry" and he "was credited with the record of having been more frequently "suspended" from the House of Commons for violent speech than any other member of the body".

[citation needed] He died in 1901 of consumption and was buried at Kensal Green Cemetery,[1] London next to the grave of his brother Dr. Lombard John Newman Deane-Tanner.
