Asylum Details.....

Post by Ted » Sat Sep 17, 2005 10:28 am

Hi Everyone

Has anyone heard of Kingseal Asylum, New Machar, Aberdeen ? - I have traced a poor sole who died there in 1905 but would like more background info on the Institution.

Thanks lots & best regards

Hi Annette

Thanks for that - got it now on Google - the certificate I got Kingseal from had poor handwriting and was unclear. However - thanks to you I'm on the right track.

Best regards

Hi Ted, you could try writing to this lady. She gave me a great deal of help when I was searching for Kingseat records for my g/grandmother.
