Sibbly FRATER 1 F Glasgow, Lanark, Scotland Rel: DaurThe trade directory shows the shop FRATER & JOHNSTONE to be at 47 Dumbarton Road. It is possible that they lived above the shop which had a different address. More details of the road would be needed to work this one out. I would expect that Margaret (nee CRAW) had a “Picture & Artist Colour Shop”. The 1891 census shows also shows her on her own. Further checking shows that Henry died in 1888. It seems from the 1891 census that his wife took over the shop.

Allan MacKie 25David & Allan are boarders. Margaret is shown to live by “independent means”. So Margaret FRATER was not there during the census taking. She may have moved out, married and moved, died or simply be away.I only have modern maps of Glasgow. Provided the road names of today are the same roads as in 1901 and the numbering hasn’t changed then there is just over 10 miles distance between the two addresses

Allan MacKie 25Margaret FRATER reported to the school that her address in the academic year 1893/1894 they had moved to 181 North Street (where the Mitchell Library now is). The 1901 census shows that the family are still there but without Margaret FRATER. So Margaret could have moved after finishing at the RGI and before the 1901 census.
Henry junior is still living at Glasgow in 1901 - occupation carver and gilder - looks as though he died in 1945.
Henry junior also had a son Henry who was born in 1900.

Thank you for your email regarding Margaret Frater. Margaret Frater appears in our student registers from 1889/90 – 1895/6. She was 16 when she first enrolled at the School in 1889 and her address is given as 44 Dumbarton Road. However, in 1893/4 she moves to 181 North Street. The entries for the last 2 years of her time at GSA list her occupation as ‘saleswoman’.
The Royal Glasgow Institute of the Fine Arts, 1861-1989: a dictionary of exhibitors at annual exhibitions of the Royal Glasgow Institute by Roger Billcliffe lists Margaret Frater as exhibiting a work called 'Chrysanthemums' in 1893. Her address is given as 44 Dumbarton Road and so this appears to be the same person as the GSA student above.
