Birthnotes |
He was a son of Duncan MacRae
and Grace (née Stewart) of Kames Castle on the Isle
of Bute, and it was thought that Stuart had been born there. However,
although he has indisputable Scottish ancestry, Andy Mitchell found that
he was in fact born on 7 December 1855 in Bengal, where his father was
serving in the Indian Army. Census returns confirm date of birth and
newspaper announcements confirm his date of birth. |

Beyond England |
|
His football career ended prematurely due
to a broken leg playing for Newark Town. Nevertheless, MacRae was
the first Captain of Newark Golf Club and its President for many years up
to 1927. He was
intensely musical and excelled at the violin. He was made a JP in 1915, at
one time sitting regularly at the Newark County Police Court in Appleton
Gate. He was a member of the Royal Company of Archers, Kings Bodyguard of
Scotland. He worked for the firm of Messrs Thorpe & Sons, a
maltser, for over
40 years. He was its managing director when it was taken over by Gilstrap,
Earp & Co in 1919. He then joined the board of Gilstrap, Earp and remained
a director until his death. -
