Milne Graden House
« on: Thursday 03 April 08 14:32 BST (UK) »
My g-grandfather's sister Christina Wilson was in service for many years with the Milne-Home family at Paxton House and Milne-Graden House.
Attached is a photo of her next to large gates.
Could anyone help in determining whether this is Milne Graden House

Hi.

These gates look very like the south lodge gates at Milne Graden House.

The House is only 3 miles from where I live and we used to go picking raspberries there in the School holidays as my friend's father was the gardener.

It's in a beautiful quiet part of Berwickshire overlooking the River Tweed.

I'll try and pop out this weekend and get some photos.

Regards

I don't know if that is Milne Graden or not, but I'm researching those who worked for the Milne Homes at Paxton. I would be interested in making contact and if possible getting a copy of the picture. Do you have any more information about her service?
