Basic Biographical Details Name: | Menzies & Cockburn | Designation: | | Born: | c. 1901 | Died: | c. 1910 | Bio Notes: | Duncan Menzies was born on 22 July 1837. He appears to have been articled to Robert Bell of 25 St Patrick Square, Edinburgh (previously Dalkeith) and succeeded to his practice at the early age of twenty-one when Bell died on 24 February 1859. The practice then became Bell & Menzies, and was relocated to a more central address, 13 Young Street. In 1864 Menzies merged his practice with that of James W Stewart, CE, who was presumably older and more experienced, as Stewart & Menzies. Stewart closed his office at 73 George Street and the merged practices initially operated from Young Street but moved to 39 York Place in the mid-1870s, and stayed there for the remainder of Menzies's lifetime. Stewart died or retired about 1881 or 1882 and Mnezies practised in his name alone until about 1901 when he took Alex W Cockburn into partnership, the practice title then becoming Menzies & Cockburn. Cockburn died on 24 July 1910 and Cockburn invited William Henry Johnson to join the practice. | Private and Business AddressesThe following private or business addresses are associated with this : | | Address | Type | Date from | Date to | Notes | | 39, York Place, Edinburgh, Scotland | Business | c. 1902 | c. 1909 | | | 33, York Place, Edinburgh, Scotland | Business | c. 1910 | c. 1912 | Then became Menzies Cockburn & Johnson |
