G & G Marr, architectural practice 1873.
George Marr began practice as an architect and civil engineer at Campbell of Udny from 1855, concentrating almost exclusively on school and farm work. The practice moved to Ellon in the mid-1860s and became G & G Marr in 1872. The relationship of the second G Marr to the original George Marr is not yet known. The practice was merged with that of George Gordon Jenkins in the summer of 1878. George Marr began practice as an architect and civil engineer at Campbell of Udny from 1855, concentrating almost exclusively on school and farm work. The practice moved to Ellon in the mid-1860s and became G & G Marr in 1872. In the summer of 1878, Marr was taken into partnership by the Aberdeen architect and civil engineer George Gordon Jenkins. Throughout their early careers, the work of Jenkins & Marr was of a simple and strictly practical nature, but with Mannofield Church (1882), for which an experienced assistant was probably brought into the practice, it moved to a rather higher plane. In the earlier 1880s Jenkins & Marr formed a loose partnership with William Davidson of Ellon, which lasted at least until the late 1890s. Marr died intestate on 3 October 1899. He does not appear to have been married. In Marr's obituary it is reported that he had a 'special acquaintance with designing papermills'.
