Basic Biographical Details

Name: W & R S Ingram
Designation:  
Born: 1879
Died: Before 1906(?)
Bio Notes: William and Robert Samson Ingram were the sons of James Ingram who set up practice in Kilmarnock c.1830: they were born c.1831 and 1841 respectively. Their mother was Mary Samson. In the mid-1860s William set up a branch office in Glasgow at 154 West Regent Street. Robert Samson Ingram 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 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 one of the signatories to his nomination paper. 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 retired or died, the firm being restyled W and R S Ingram by August. Some jobs were still being carried out under the title of J & R S Ingram in the 1880s, however.

William Ingram died at 6 Walmer Terrace, Govan on 4 February 1898. In 1906 Robert took David Morton Brown into partnership, the practice name becoming Ingram & Brown.
