Maracaibo Cole John Martin Coates -

MRCS 1886

MD Carabobo 1901
MD Durham 1907

MD Maracaibo 1913

Note:

Carabobo is another province but there is Carabobo Street in the old quarter of Maracaibo I suspect Durham is also in Maracaibo because in the same year (1907) that he listed for being in Durham is also the year he is in "Historical Chronology Of The Urolog? In Venezuela" as being the first to perform an operation see below
