General notes:
John Maguire's youngest child, Russell, was born in Beith in January 1897, so the family must have moved to Eaglesham within the next few years. They were living at 57 Montgomery Street by the time of the 1901 census. As of March 2012, this painting was framed and on permanent display in Eaglesham Community Library, as part of the Heritage Service's Museum Artefacts project, which was supported by the Heritage Lottery Fund.
