Photographs taken by Philip Herbert Burnie (1874-1920) son of Dr. Thomas Burnie (1838-1915) who lived in Mansfield Road, Nottingham.
In the 1891 census Philip was living at home with his parents and described as a joiner, but circa 1895 he emigrated to Canada (financed by his father) with the intention of becoming a farmer, settling in Saskatchewan.
He soon returned to Nottingham and moved up to Scotland to farm near Lockerbie, taking over Carterton Farm, which had been tenanted by Arthur John Burnie (relation) who had run away (with the outraged father of a pregnant girl on his heels) to join the army!
Philip was back in Nottingham (Forest Road) by 1911, the farming enterprise having failed & worked as a cinema manager in a partnership which also failed.
He then ran off to Sheffield to be with his mistress, and worked as a projectionist at the Globe Picture House, Attercliffe.
Unfortunately Philip died in 1920 of a ‘Gangrenous Appendix’ brought on by receiving a kick from a horse.

This most interesting information came from a relative of the family, from whom I purchased the album.
