     A short biography from the nineteenth century of the father Andrew MacGeorge:
Of Anglo-Irish descent, Andrew Macgeorge was born in Port Glasgow on 6 September 1774. After the family moved to Glasgow he pursued a career in law, setting up in partnership with William Bogle in 1797. In 1807 he was appointed Extractor in the Burgh Court, where he was held in considerable esteem. He later acquired a large general practice.
Politically a Whig, he supported the first Reform Bill and was elected to the Municipal Council of Glasgow. After living in a small villa in Finnieston, in 1812 he moved with his wife Elizabeth Jackson to a larger house in Sandyford Place, with three acres of ground attached. His office was in Brunswick Place.
He died in Helensburgh on 2 October 1857.
In the early part of his professional life Mr. Macgeorge lived at a small villa which he had purchased at Finnieston, then a rural village. About 1812 he removed to a larger house in Sandyford Place, with about three acres of ground attached, which he purchased from Mr. Thomas Watson, brother of Mr. Watson of Linthouse. This place, which is all built over now, was then also a long way from the city. It was on the opposite side of the road from Claremont, then belonging to Mr. Black, whose family lived there in summer, and went into town to spend the winter in a fine mansion which Mr. Black possessed at the head of Jamaica Street.¹
