Early life

Doyle was born on 22 May 1859 in Edinburgh, Scotland. His father, Charles Altamont Doyle, was English, of Irish descent, and his mother, Mary, was Irish. His parents married in 1855. Then he went on to the Stonyhurst College until 1875. From 1875 to 1876, he was educated at the Jesuit school Stella Matutina in Feldkirch , Austria.

Medical career

From 1876 to 1881, he studied medicine at the University of Edinburgh Medical School, Sheffield and Ruyton-XI-Towns, Shropshire. He studied practical botany at the Royal Botanic Garden in Edinburgh. While studying, Doyle began writing short stories.

Doyle was employed as a doctor on the Greenland whaler Hope of Peterhead in 1880 and, after his graduation from university in 1881 as MB, CM, as a ship's surgeon on the SS Mayumba during a voyage to the West African coast.

Literary career

Sherlock Holmes

His first work featuring Holmes and Watson, A Study in Scarlet, was taken by Ward Lock & Co on 20 November 1886, giving Doyle £25 for all rights to the story.

The piece appeared one year later in the Beeton's Christmas Annual and received good reviews in The Scotsman and the Glasgow Herald  

A sequel A Study in Scarlet was commissioned and The Sign of the Four appeared in Lippincott's Magazine in February 1890, under agreement with the Ward Lock company. Doyle felt grievously exploited by Ward Lock as a new author to the publishing world and he left them.

Short stories featuring Sherlock Holmes were published in the Strand Magazine. Doyle wrote the first five Holmes short stories from his office at 2 Upper Wimpole Street, which is now marked by a memorial plaque.

Doyle's first novels were The Mystery of Cloomber , which was not published until 1888, and the unfinished Narrative of John Smith , published only in 2011. He amassed a portfolio of short stories including "The Captain of the Pole-Star" and " J. Habakuk Jephson's Statement ", both inspired by Doyle's time at sea.

Sporting career

While living in Southsea, Doyle played football as a goalkeeper for Portsmouth Association Football Club, an amateur side, under the pseudonym AC Smith.

Doyle was a keen cricketer , and between 1899 and 1907 he played at 10 first-class matches for the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC).

Personal life

In 1885 Doyle married Louisa Hawkins, the youngest daughter of J. Hawkins, of Minsterworth , Gloucestershire, and sister of one of Doyle's patients. Doyle fathered five children.

Justice advocate

Doyle was also a fervent advocate of justice and personally investigated two closed cases, which led to two men being exonerated of the crimes of which they were accused.

Death

Doyle was found clutching his chest in the hall of Windlesham Manor, his house in Crowborough , East Sussex, on 7 July 1930. He died of a heart attack at the age of 71. His last words were directed toward his wife: "You are wonderful."

  At the time of his death, there was some controversy concerning his burial place, as he was avowedly not a Christian, considering himself a Spiritualist
