OBITUARY

Mr. Daniel Stewart, senior partner of D. & J. Stewart, jewellers of Stirling, after being knocked down by a van. He was over 80.


Source: Watchmaker, Jeweller & Silversmith - January 1958


This was the firm of Daniel and John Stewart. The business was established in 1866.

There were presumably two Daniel Stewart's, likely father and son. The above obituary likely refers to the son.

Daniel Stewart (I?) had been apprenticed to Robert Drummond of Stirling.
