Title: George Smith Mackie and William Smith
Post by: videos on Sunday 13 November 16 17:29 GMT (UK)
George Smith Mackie was a photographer in Aberdeen 1875/1876 and he had a studio at 259 George Street and later in Colchester, Essex. Does anyone know of any photographs or examples of his work that still exist.
I have nothing but I would like to find something if it still exists. Does anyone have any photos from his studios who could send me a digital image.
George was the illegitimate son of William Smith a distiller who traded from the Jericho distillery, founded in 1824 until 1864 when he passed the business over to John Maitland. William died in 1873, does anyone know if a portrait exists of William or any other information regarding his activities.
I have copies of William Smiths Will, but I am interested in any other information that may be available.
I would be grateful if any one can help with this request.
