I have some information that might be of help. Ludwig Oppenheimer born c.1830 in Brunswick, Germany, was mosaic artist who lived in Manchester and married Susan McCulloch (nee Finlay). He founded the company Ludwig Oppenheimer Ltd. Their sons were Lehman (d. 8 November 1916), Ludwig jnr, Albert and Charles 1875-1961 who became a well known 'Scottish' artist who lived in Kirckudbright and married in 1903 to Contance Emily (nee Taylor). It appears that another relation was Frederick Oppenheimer 1893-1965,who changed his name to Eric Newton and was also a well known artist and art critic.
