Biographical data
Name: Robertson, Walter Wood  
Born: 1845
Died: 23 Apr. 1907
 
Notes:
Alan McGowan has sent me a copy of an official death record, with full name, and age of 61 at death on 23 Apr. 1907. This puts his birth in 1845 or 1846. McGowan says he was born in 1845, according to the Dictionary of Scottish Architects, though he has not found a reliable birth record yet.
