Donald Sinclair (veterinary surgeon)
Donald Vaughan Sinclair (22 April 1911 – 28 June 1995) was a British veterinary surgeon (graduated from the Royal (Dick) School of Veterinary Studies, 1933) made famous as the eccentric character Siegfried Farnon in the semi-autobiographical books of James Herriot (Alf Wight), later adapted for film and television as ''All Creatures Great and Small''.
== Early life and veterinary career ==
He was the son of Margretta ''née'' Vaughan and James Sinclair, a leather goods manufacturer who died in his adolescence,〔http://www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk〕 and studied to be a veterinary surgeon in Edinburgh, as his future friend and colleague James Alfred ('Alf') Wight (alias James Herriot) was similarly so studying in Glasgow. Although never referenced in the Herriot fiction series, the autobiography acknowledges the early death of his first wife, Evelyn Beatrice Sinclair ''née'' Holborow. They married at St. Giles, Edinburgh, on 4 November 1930, both aged 19 years〔http://www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk〕 and after his graduation, the couple moved to live in the West Riding of Yorkshire. In 1936, aged only 24 years, Evelyn Sinclair died of bovine brucellosis transmitted by contaminated milk, three years before he purchased the Kirkgate property that was made famous in the Herriot series. The couple had no children. Sinclair had a son, Alan Donald, and a daughter, Janet, with his second wife Audrey ''née'' Adamson in 1944〔http://www.ancestry.co.uk〕
