Scottish architect, of Edinburgh and Glasgow, for whom see Directory of British Architects 1834-1914 (RIBA 2001), II, 494, and Dictionary of Scottish Architects (www.scottisharchitects.org.uk). In 1840, when he was working as principal draughtsman in the office of Hurst & Moffat, Doncaster, Rochead gained first premium from among 150 competitors for his design for a Catholic cathedral in Belfast.(1) Much later, in 1868, he exhibited a design for a church at Ballagh, Fermanagh, in the 'Early Pointed Gothic style'. The church was not executed.(2)
