Biography
professional photographer, watchmaker and jeweller, was born in Ross-shire, Scotland. He came to Victoria in 1855 and commenced business at Tarraville, Gippsland, as the town’s first watchmaker and jeweller. In 1862 he advertised in the Gippsland Times that he would commence taking photographic likenesses on Monday, 12 May, 'in the premises lately occupied by Mr. Vize, Foster St., Sale’. Business was reported as brisk, despite the room proving 'utterly unsuited to the process’. In May 1863 Ross married Catherine McIntosh at Glenmaggie and the following year they moved to Bairnsdale, where he again became the town’s first watchmaker and jeweller though apparently no longer practising photography.
