I have just learned that a member of our family was put into a childrens home, Primrose Hill,Aberdeen in 1919 because his mother had died.  Has anyone heard of this and were any records kept of this childrens home, Many thanks

There is also a book by Steven L Henderson called The Aberdeen Home for Widowers' Children: The Story of Primrosehill

I have been assuming that my relative went into Primrose Hill childrens home when his mother died.  Were there any other childrens homes in Aberdeen around 1920?  Many thanks.

Have a look at www.childrenshomes.org.uk.

They might list more homes in Aberdeenshire.
