Hi Eddie

Murthly hospital was part of the Murray Royal and Murthly Hospitals both were mental hospitals

Murthly closed in 1985  Murray Royal has just been rebuilt mostly.

I am also researching William Kennedy who died in Perth on 23/10/1918.
He was my great great grand uncle. Does anyone know anything about his brother Alexander Kennedy who was born in December 1889 in Crieff?
I may have found him in the Army Service Corps 10th battery? Also there is another brother called Donald Kennedy born in July 1886.

Any assistance would be very welcome.
Thank you  ;)

Hi

The above William McNab Kennedy whom I was researching for a colleague was born in Aberfeldy on the 24th Aug 1893
are you sure it is the same William.
