John Maubray was man-midwife and lecturer on midwifery. With the help of Hans Sloane he was able to practice without a licence from the Royal College of Physicians. Maubray published instructional works on midwifery and is considered a pioneer in the field, even though he may not have helped deliver many children himself.
