Basic Biographical Details

Name: Henry ('Harry') S Tawse
Designation:  
Born: 1890
Died: 1959
Bio Notes: Henry S Tawse was born in 1890 and attended classes at Aberdeen University, Glasgow University and the Royal College of Science & Technology, Glasgow. He was the fourth son of Peter Tawse of Aberdeen. He must have served in the First World War, reaching the rank of Colonel. He appears to have worked in association with Walter Ramsay Davidson of Lincoln's Inn, London c.1923 but this must have been a loose arrangement as he was already working in partnership with George J Allan in Aberdeen by 1921 and continued with him until at least 1936. At the time of his death on 24 December 1959 at Woodend Hospital Aberdeen he was deputy lieutenant and a JP.
