Title: Rossie Reformatory, Montrose
Post by: ferrydener on Saturday 24 January 09 16:52 GMT (UK)
I am trying to add more information to my studies of Rossie Reformatory at Montrose. Can anyone share information on this establishment which I may not already have  Also information on relatives that may have resided there.

How much information do you already have?

Here's a few website links which will either help, or you already know about -

I've also seen a list of papers that were handed over to Angus Council by Dundee Council, presumably when Tayside Region was abolished, which has a report of Rossie reformatory dated 30th Jan 1888.


Hope this help you in some way.

Cheers

Where would I go to see those papers and are you allowed to make a copy ?

I'd go here -

I'm sure they'll keep you right on what, and what not, you are allowed to copy.

I know the Aberdeen & Aberdeenshire lot are very helpful, and allow you to take digital photograps of certain things. You MUST have your flash switched off though.
