Notes:
Little information is recorded for Archibald Dickson, of Pontefract, Yorkshire. The present volume includes a page of detailed notes about Dickson and his family. He was born 4 July 1703, and died 27 November 1747. In Pontefract on 14 December 1726, he married his wife Ann, with whom he had four sons and four daughters. There is no indication that Dickson was an artist or an architect by profession, although a note in the present volume mentions that he studied with a Patrick Edgar circa 1739.
