Thanks, Gordon... I guess people may have wanted to change the name in the past 115 years!  The name I gave you was used in 1897.

I did wonder if the Infirmary might have had some connection, as a birth could well have taken place in a maternity wing.

Thanks for trying to help, anyway.

Thank you for this, very interesting.  I am not sure if the 'Infirmary' would be what I am looking for - which is a house named 'Caer-cadun' (or something like that, the birth certificate it comes from is not very clear); it could even be a private house, where this birth was recorded, or perhaps a private nursing home, but would a town 'infirmary' have a name like that? I am not sure.  However, every little helps to build up the picture of the area around 1900 - the event I am interested in dates to 1897.

Thanks for your help.

I have already (I think) sent a message regarding my interest in an address in Viewfield Road, Arbroath, in the 1890s, but I should perhaps have added that I am interested in the names Wyse, and Lothian, in Arbroath at that period.  That might help track down the address in question - or it might not.. there are a lot of unknowns in this enquiry.

Hope I have sent this correctly.

Thanks

PS:  I think I have attached an image of the name of the house I am interested in, as inscribed in the Register of Births.

Thanks for this.

I will now need to find out how to post a general question!

I am new to RootsChat, and not sure how to 'break  in' to an established correspondence, and (in this instance) ask a new question of Derek.

Please help, if you can offer guidance on this.
