John Moir (physician) John Moir (physician) Dr John Innes Allan Moir FRSE (1808-1899) was a 19th-century Scottish physician and obstetrician who held multiple senior positions within the Scottish medical world. He was born with the grounds of the military prison at Verdun in France on 6 April 1808 the son of Dr James Moir (b.1780), a naval surgeon in the Royal Navy, who was captured by the French when his ship sank in the Channel around 1806. Although it sounds unusual (for both parties) Moir was allowed to be joined by his wife, Margaret Laing Stenhouse, and hence the birth occurring in prison.
