John Burleigh Wintour
Photographic Dealer |
|
The trade directories show the business of John B
Wintour as having been:
-
Photographic Dealer:
1901-40
-
Developing and
Printing: 1925-40
For most of this period, the address of these
businesses were based at 141 Bruntsfield Place.

However, Richard Jackson points out that these
businesses appear to have continued well beyond the death of the man who
established them.
Richard wrote:
William Wintour Junior
"I recently
purchased a painting by a man called William Wintour Junior who, I
believe, lived from 1841 to 1907.
John Burleigh Wintour
"William
Wintour Junior and his wife Janet Landells
Binnie had a son called John Burleigh Wintour who was born at 14 Grove
Street, Edinburgh on 5 April 1876.
I have done a little research and
this John Burleigh Wintour apparently died on 11 August 1915 of heart
failure, aged 39, at 7
Morton Street, Joppa. He
was described as an optician and photographic
dealer of 141 Bruntsfield Place with a usual residence of 39 Viewforth."

Question
Richard
Jackson, who sent the information above, tells me that he is trying to
discover if any of William Wintour's descendants are still living.
Ian would
like to discover more about William's paintings, 20 of which were
exhibited at the Royal Scottish Academy.
