William Hine

Career Museum Professional

Biography It seems probable that he is the William Hine listed in the 1901 census as being aged 60, born in Oxford and living in St Giles, Oxford and working as an Assistant in the [Oxford University] Museum [of Natural History][interestingly there is another Hine also listed as being an assistant in the Museum aged 21, Albert E. presumably his son or another relative]. In the OUMNH Annual Report, 1912 he is listed as being the Assistant, in the Department of Comparative Anatomy, retiring after nearly 51 years service.
