Charles Beylard Guerard de Nancrede was born on December 30, 1847 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States. He was the son of Thomas Dixey and Mary Elizabeth (Bull) Nancrède. His father, a wholesale importer, was the son of Paul Joseph Guérard de Nancrde who came to America with the French army of Count Rochambeau and served at the battle of Yorktown.
Nancrède's premedical education was obtained in private schools of Philadelphia and at the University of Pennsylvania, from which institution he obtained Doctor of Medicine degree in 1869. In 1883 he obtained a similar degree from Jefferson Medical College.
Following an interneship in the Protestant Episcopal Hospital he began practice in Philadelphia, where, during the following twenty years, he developed into one of the foremost surgeons of the city. From the beginning of his medical career he kept in the forefront of professional progress, particularly in the art of surgery. He early joined the following of Lord Lister in the advocacy, first of antiseptic, later of aseptic, surgery. Together with Doctors W. W. Keen and J. E. Mears, he was instrumental in establishing these procedures in Philadelphia surgical practice.
He made a specialty of the diagnosis and surgical treatment of brain abscess and tumors and of cortical epilepsy. He was at various times on the surgical staffs of the Protestant Episcopal, Jefferson, and St. Christopher's hospitals.
Nancrède began his teaching career as an instructor in physiology while still a medical student at the University of Pennsylvania. Later he became successively demonstrator in anatomy and lecturer on regional anatomy. In 1882 he was appointed professor of general and orthopedic surgery at the Philadelphia Polyclinic. After this active and varied experience he was called to the chair of surgery and clinical surgery at the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor in 1889, which position he held for the remainder of his life. This appointment also made him chief of the surgical service of the university hospital and clinic. He had been appointed lecturer on surgery at Dartmouth Medical College in 1887, and in 1900 he was promoted to professor, which post he held until his retirement in 1913. His courses at Dartmouth were held during the summer months. His teaching was marked by enthusiasm, with a genial sympathy and understanding of his students. He was keen and critical in analysis and positive from a broad knowledge of his subject.
His two text-books, Essentials of Anatomy (1888) and Lectures upon the Principles of Surgery (1899), went through several editions. He contributed articles on injuries to the bursae and injuries to the head to Ashhurst's International Encyclopædia of Surgery; a section on "Symptoms, Diagnosis, and Treatment of Inflammation, Abscess, Ulcer, and Gangrene" to System of Surgery (vol. I, 1895), edited by F. S. Dennis and J. S. Billings; and "The Surgical Treatment of Croup and Diphtheria" to C. H. Burnett's System of Diseases of the Ear, Nose, and Throat (1893, vol. II). He discussed "H'morrhoids" and "H'morrhage" in Wood's Reference Handbook of the Medical Sciences and contributed articles for Park's Treatise on Surgery, Bryant and Buck's American Practice of Surgery, and An American Text-Book of Surgery, edited by W. W. Keen and J. W. White.
In his early years he took an active part in the meetings of the Philadelphia Pathological Society, presenting papers and specimens and acting as editor of the society's proceedings.
An inherited martial spirit led Nancrède into the Spanish-American War at its outbreak in 1898. He was commissioned a major in the volunteer army and went to Cuba as chief surgeon of the 3rd Division, II Army Corps, in which capacity he participated in the battle of Santiago. He continued his military connection as a reserve medical officer and member of the Association of Military Surgeons, but his age precluded active service in the World War.
Though known primarily as a surgeon, he kept up his knowledge and interest in internal medicine and described himself as a medical man who operated.
He died at his home in Ann Arbor.

He was also a corresponding member of the Royal Academy of Medicine of Rome.
He was married on June 3, 1872, to Alice, daughter of Francis P. Dunnington of Baltimore, Maryland.
