Notes

• Listed as printers to her Majesty’s Stationery Office in 1873
• "The year 1837 saw the beginnings of a firm which was to become one of the best known of Edinburgh printing firms throughout the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Originally founded as William Oliphant & Co., a new partnership took over in 1841 and the firm became Murray & Gibb, based in George Street. The business moved to Thistle Street Lane in 1845 due to the increasing volume of trade. In 1864 Mr. William Oliphant Morrison, a relation of the original Mr. Oliphant, joined the firm becoming a senior partner upon the death of Thomas Murray in 1872. In 1879 the firm was re-named Morrison & Gibb, a title it was to retain until its closure in 1985” ("Reputation" 8)
