Dean Orphanage
« on: Tuesday 15 June 21 14:35 BST (UK) »
Hi everyone,

I'm looking for some information on the Dean Orphanage from 1920's/1930's period. Was this specifically an orphanage for children or was it also a hospital?

I have an ancestor who has this orphanage listed as her usual residence on her death certificate but was 36 when she died.

Thanks

Hi CaroleW, thank you for your reply.

I have used Google and come across the pages you have referenced.

I haven't really found the answer through Google that's why I posted here in the off chance a member has come across the same thing.

I've contacted Peter Stubbs from the Edinphoto.org.uk website to see if he can help.

Could she have worked at and lived in the Orphanage?

I guess it's a possibility. She married and had children who were all born in Ayrshire, I'm just confused how/why she has ended up in Edinburgh.
