Angus (Forfarshire) / The Reoch family in DUNDEE,
« on: Thursday 25 November 21 15:24 GMT (UK)  »
Hi Everyone,
                  I am trying to find information on an Ethel Niell Reoch (illegitimate) D.O.B. 1/11/1915.
Ethel's mother was Jeannie Neill Reoch.I have found the deaths of all Jeannie's children but cannot find marriage or death of Ethel.(all had illegitimate on their birth cert.,).I am wondering if Ethel was put into care as a very young child,but i cannot get to grips on where to look..
If anyone can advise me i would be very happy.
Thank you for reading..

Fife / Asyburn or Ashburn Foulford Place Cowdenbeath
« on: Tuesday 04 April 17 16:35 BST (UK)  »
Hi,
   i am wondering if anyone can help me trace my great aunt 1917 at the address above or give me some kind of information on the address above.
I have i think my great aunts death certificate in 1917 she died of  epilepsy at the above address,seems like it was an asylum or poor house. she had a child in 1915 that would have been two and approx half years when her mother died.what i am looking for is this the child my grandparents gave a home in 1917/18.my aunt never had a birth certificate so did not know (like my dad) that my grandparents were not her real parents..No one seems to know about this institution in Cowdenbeath even Fife Direct do not know of it,but it is on my great aunts death certificate?
                                                         Many thanks if anyone can help me.

Fife / Edenbank cottage Melville road Laybank 1919
« on: Sunday 24 May 15 14:45 BST (UK)  »
Hello everyone,its a while since i have been on RC...still searching the same person but now from a different angle.
Monical if you in there you will know me well.
Brief catchup,my Aunt Ethel Edna whom i thought was born in Ferry-upon-craig in 1915 could not find her anywhere,still cannot find her..BUT!!!! found a death of Ethel Elizabeth Magee at the "subject" address in 1919 this is so close to the bone its remarkable.My Grandmothers maiden name was Magee,this Ethel Elizabeth was a spinster who must have came over from Ireland (Belfast) because she was pregnant(i think) and lived very close to where my Grandparents were at that time.. and when Ethel Elizabeth died Ethel Edna would have been 4yrs old ( hence this is why she knew she was fostered)
On Ethel Elizabeth Magees death cert., she was taken back to Belfast by her brother to be buried,
her father(?) was a linen manufactor,a far cry from the poor background my Grandparents came from.but i still think this is my way forward.The only things still adrift are cannot find Ehel Ednas Birth no matter how hard i try ,also although  really have a great guy from Ladybank doing his utmost to help find this Eden bank cottage where Ethel Elizabeth lived and died nothing is coming up.The Ladybank church has records dating back to the 1800"S but he rekons the task of looking through these records are massive...i have looked at every thing but if anyone thinks i have missed anything i would be very happy to get advise..
                                                                    Hope this all makes sense,
                                                                                                            Cheers..
