Basic Biographical Details

Name: Frank H Southorn
Designation:  
Born: c. 1870
Died: 21 February 1921
Bio Notes: Frank H Southorn was born in England c.1870, probably at Wakefield, the son of Thomas Southorn, boot manufacturer and his wife Maria Browne. It is not known why he settled in Scotland rather than in England. He studied at Glasgow School of Art in 1890-91 at which date the roll shows that he was an assistant in the office of James Salmon & Son, lodging with three other young men in St Andrews Road. Sometime thereafter he married Jeannie Young Noble in a Free Church ceremony at 348 Maxwell Road, their son Thomas Noble Southorn being born on 28 April 1896. He commenced independent practice in 1903 or 1904 and was successful enough to live in Helensburgh by 1913.

Southorn died of diabetes at Craigellachie, Helensburgh on 22 February 1921. The practice was continued by his son, who appears to have been seeking experience in Manchester at that date, under the new title of Frank Southorn & Orr; the other partner may have been Frank George Orr, but this is not certain.
