I had a surprising message on ancestry today. It was from a lady asking if she can use a photo of Alexander McKerrow, my 2 x great grandfather. However she was referring to the one that I had put against my 2 x great grandfather but after I realised its the one of the 'other' Alexander McKerrow and not my one so I had to explain its a long story but thats not the photo of him so I quickly changed it to the one of his headstone. Anyway why she wanted it is becausse she is on a forum about scottish artists and painters and there are 2 painting signed by A. McKerrow. there is another initial which is hard to read but somebody has said it is S but because it looks joint to the M its difficult to decipher but S would be for Sloan his mothers maiden name. Familytreeforum gets mentioned in the thread a few times so they have obviously seen my threads on here about the McKerrow family. I was trying to follow the thread and work out where it is from but its beyond my technology. There are 2 lovely paintings of greyhounds from 1856. I am curious to know if these paintings still exist and are on show or are they just printed in a book. I tried to explain this to the person that asked for my permission to use my photo but I dont think they understood what I was asking
So if I may I will post the link here and then if anybody can work out what its all about and why its now come to light I would be most interested.https://www.artuk.org/artdetective/d...this-greyhound
