Gregory Warner (missionary surgeon) dating history

Details

Gregory Warner (c. 1805–after 1811) was a British missionary surgeon affiliated with the London Missionary Society. Trained for medical service in response to urgent appeals from Tahiti, he was ordained in London and deployed to the South Pacific, where he served in New South Wales, Tahiti, and Huahine. Warner played a crucial role in providing medical aid to island leaders and participated in the early efforts to Christianize the Society Islands. His writings challenge certain missionary narratives and offer detailed insight into indigenous health and cultural practices. After parting ways with the LMS, Warner traveled through China and India, where he continued his medical work, though little is known about his later life.
