Bio Notes: James Strang was born at Denny in 1855, the son of James Strang and Marion Kirkland and educated at Grossarts School. He was articled to Alexander Black of Falkirk c.1879 and commenced independent practice in Falkirk in 1880. In 1922 he took into partnership his nephew Robert Wilson, who had been articled to an as yet unidentified practice in Falkirk before the First World War and had subsequently been admitted ARIBA under the war exemption scheme. Strang retired in 1937, whereupon the practice was merged with that of Henry Wilson, who was unrelated to Robert Wilson and who had been in partnership with David Alexander Tait. The combined practice of Wilson & Wilson was now based in Strang's office at 39 Vicar Street, Falkirk.

James Strang died at 6 Hodge Street, Falkirk in January 1940. In that year the partnership re-opened an office in Grangemouth, but it was closed again in 1943. In 1955 Henry Wilson's son Rory was taken into partnership, Henry not retiring until 1960 at the age of 80. Robert Wilson died in October 1965; Henry had died some years earlier.
