Basic Biographical Details

Name: William Ingram
Designation:  
Born: c. 1831(?)
Died: 4 February 1898
Bio Notes: William Ingram was born c.1831, the fourth son of James Ingram who had set up practice in Kilmarnock c.1830: his mother was Mary Samson. In the mid-1860s William set up a branch office in Glasgow at 154 West Regent Street. Another son, Robert Samson Ingram, born 1841, was sent to London to gain experience. He seems to have studied under Professor Thomas Leverton Donaldson (who had Ayrshire connections at Williamshaw) at University College as he proposed him for associate membership of the RIBA, for which he was elected on 26 March 1866 (lapsed c.1883). At that date Robert's address was 1 Westminster Chambers, indicating that he was an assistant of Charles Barry Junior who was another signatory to his nomination paper, the third being James Thomson. By 1868 Robert had joined William at West Regent Street, but subsequently moved to Kilmarnock to join his father, the Kilmarnock practice becoming J & R S Ingram. In July 1879 James died, the firm being restyled W & R S Ingram by August 1879, although some jobs were being carried out under the name of J & R S Ingram in the 1880s. While the practice built for all denominations, the archdiocese of Glasgow was an important client in the 1880s.

William died at 6 Walmer Terrace, Govan on 4 February 1898.
