James Lawrie

James Lawrie was also listed in the 1881 census.  Was he a brother, perhaps a twin brother, of Alexander Lawrie?  James Lawrie was listed as:

Aged 46

Born:  Edinburgh

Address:  69 Leith Walk, Edinburgh

Wife:  Alice L

Children (all born Edinburgh)

1.  Jane Alexander:  aged 18

2.  Alfred Duncan:  aged 16

3   Helen:  aged 14

4.  Francis James:  aged 12

5.  David Braidwood:  aged 6

[DRTorramce]

DR Torrance records James Lawrie as being a professional photographer, based at Rose Cottage 1876-82, then Poplar Bank 1883-91.

I do not know the source of these details, so for the present, at least, I have excluded James Lawrie from my list of Edinburgh Professional  photographers.
