Slater & Glazier, born in Kilmarnock, Scotland. He was an apprentice of James Ferguson in Wallacetown, Ayr. Both men came to Australia in late 1852 and started the "Ferguson & Urie" plumbing, slating and glazing company in 1853. By 1861 they were solely a stained glass company. The company's stained glass could be seen in the eastern states of Australia as well as New Zealand from 1861 to 1899.
Too much padding and "assumption". There has never been any evidence that either Urie or Ferguson had any artistic ability. They were just Plumbers & glaziers and employed artists with expertise in stained glass. Many other assumed items removed as incorrect. See overall proofs at https://fergusonandurie.wordpress.com -
