Marjory (margory) Heigh Moonie was born in Monifieth 13/12/1865. Parents Thomas Moonie and Jessie Wyllie.
In 1891 she is included in the census in the home of Francis Gervers, a very successful diamond merchant in Brighton. (Unfortunately she was only a servant!) None of the other several servants were from Scotland.
At some time prior to her death in 1916 she had returned to Scotland. She died in Sunnyside asylum (cause of death given as organic brain disease of three months) – her occupation was “servant” and she was single. Her home address at that time was given as 32 Church Street, Broughty Ferry. This being the address of her brother John and his family (who also had a daughter called Marjory). However, she does not appear in the 1901 or 1911 census with them.
I cannot trace her anywhere between 1891 and 1916.
I see from previous posts that some records are available for Sunnyside but any further ideas would be much appreciated.
