Basic Biographical Details

Name: William Stirling III
Designation:  
Born: 1819 or early 1820
Died: 16 February 1867
Bio Notes: William Stirling III was born in 1819 or 1820, the son of William Stirling II and his wife Ann Kinross, and was presumably articled to his father. It is not known whether he sought any wider experience. He married Agnes Douglas, daughter of Dr Douglas of Dunblane, and by 1852 had established a Falkirk office in parallel with his father's in Dunblane. He died at Doune Road, Dunblane on 16 February 1867, his age being given as 46. The practice was then closed, his father having retired: the completion of his Stirling District Asylum at Larbert was taken over by James Brown of Currie, then in retirement and formerly of Brown & Carrick, suggesting that he may have had some connection with that firm.
